Verdict

Overall, the Emotiva XPS-1 receives positive reviews for its clarity, clean gain, and versatility in supporting both MM and MC cartridges. Some reviewers note that it can be bright and lacks an on/off switch, but these are minor drawbacks compared to its sound quality and value for the price. A few reviewers experienced defects with the power supply, but this seems to be a rare occurrence. The XPS-1 is recommended as a significant upgrade over built-in phono stages and budget preamps, and is a good choice for those looking for a concealed and flexible option.
