About how I feel about the player, the 2. That thing into my ldr then amp is heavenly.

 wanted to keep the xda but sounding the same as the 2 made it redundant and for the time being I'm cool without inputs to select.

I not only am impressed with the sound quality at the price point, the XDA-1 is built like a $2k DAC down to the metal remote (even though I use a Harmony).  It was my first experience with Emotiva and I was pleasantly surprised.  It is in the secondary basement system and I expected that perhaps I might not even keep it before I received it.  For the money, I can always find a system or spot for it.
