Thanks guys. Good advice. My point, however, is that I thought the point of a pre-order list was to get in line and get mine before someone else who ordered later gets theirs. Maybe I am still in line ahead of others, but if that's the case, then someone placing an order today is going to be unhappy. Unless, of course, I get the email today...
I was initially very excited about the UMC-1 to go with my XPA-5 and UPA-2, but waited, and waited....and finally bought a Onkyo PR-SC885 well over a year ago. I was planning to buy the UMC-1 and sell the 885, or at least try out the UMC-1. Based on the initial bugs of the UMC-1 I've hear about, and the handling of the product intro, I may just pass. I really like my 885, and it's feature set is more like what we've heard about the XMC-1. And it works..
BTW, what is so difficult about sending me an email once in a while telling me where I am in line? Why has info been so difficult to get? (That's why I started this thread!!)
