I know tis in the eye of the beholder...
It's only $4K, lowest price by far to offer 16ch Atmos decoding.

Hearing that's it's being built for MP by ATI, but the back panel layout does not look familiar.
Speculating that this could be based on a new reference design, and we'll be seeing similar devices from other vendors soon.

Not Marc, but this is more a competitor to the Emotiva RMC-2.

The RMC-1 has more flexibility with it being expandable to up to 28 channels.

The HTP-1 and RMC-2 have similar price points.

:eek:No Doubt:D:D

Seriously, the RMC-2 is just the RMC-1 without the expansion capable chassis.
I bet they'll release it on time - especially with advent competition in the form of this unit.

Now, Emotiva releasing a fully debugged and functional unit is a different matter altogether.

Looks neat! Was hoping for something more affordable.

Monoprice also has a Monolith line of multichannel amps too, with XLR and the same front panel look, so this could be done all in one swoop ;)

Nice.

Even better if their kit supported 240V, would make it a ton easier to use outside of US.

It sure has ATI build finger print. ATI also makes the monolith amp, so seems clear that the ATI ATP16 turned into this.

Still curious why they never issued an ATI branded processor nor has the Datasat line been updated since their acquisition of that line.

Love my ATI amps btw.

Well future happened, sorry.

I would happily have a unit with 0 legacy analogue inputs if it resulted in a cheaper and more reliable device (less things to break after all).

No need for legacy inputs on something like this IMO.

I’m hopeful a Monoprice 20% off Black Friday coupon might apply to this next fall. ;)

But, I will probably hold off if it doesn’t support HDMI 2.1. There’s just too many things HDMI 2.1 is bringing to the future table to freely discount it. (My main interest in HDMI 2.1 it is variable refresh rate support for gaming)
