thanx Ajani that was helpful but what about sound and performance are you happy with it compared with marantz (in terms of sound)and in my case i m opting for a lighter new upa 200 budget model. and if anything goes wrong i will replace it with new but i expect it should work well for 2-3 yrs. Ajani what you say will it serve my purpose?
At the price you can't fault the sound of Emotiva products. IMO their amps are their best products and generally the safest bet. I'm one of the few (afaik) persons who had their XPA-2 malfunction in just a year. In fairness to EMO they did ship a replacement part to me for free. But I really stopped using the brand over a bad experience with the XDA-1 DAC.
So I might be a bit biased against EMO because I've had a few bad experiences with their products. Other persons, on a US forum I used to be a member of, were very impressed with all their EMO gear.
The UPA-200 will likely meet your needs.
