I've read lots on here about the startup times of these units when playing DVDs. Do the same delays apply to CD playback? How long could I expect to wait between powering the unit on and geting a tune out of it?

Also, is there any significant difference in the startup times between the E1 and XE1?

Thanks.
 
Yes, there's the same boot-up time though it doesn't take long to load the CD once it's in. I'd say around 30-40 seconds from pressing the power button to playback on the E1, not sure about the XE1.

Ive got the E1 and just timed it :boring:

37 seconds from when i hit the power button to when the "HD DVD" splash screen appears.

Then however long it takes to load in a cd.

Thanks guys, that's what I needed to know - ordered an XE1 :thumbsup:

Now I'm sure that amp could do with an upgrade ..... :nono:
 
My XE1 takes the same time. I timed it the other day at around 40 seconds. And this is after the 1.3 firmware upgrade.
