Anyways, past the shitty company buyouts (Naka) and hard to use funk (Pioneer) &nbsp;buy the Alpine 7949. &nbsp;It has a couple plated chassis and a couple of really high end features. &nbsp;I do believe it features MDAC, &nbsp;it also has a fancy display. &nbsp;It's kinda old school. &nbsp;It will also Integrate with an Alpine SEA-8081 alarm very nicely. &nbsp;If the 7949 is only $50 more buy it! &nbsp;You do know that those are both preamp only decks? &nbsp;If you have any other question I know quite a bit about /////ALPINE and their lines. &nbsp;Thanks man!

How come nobody ever mentions eclilpse?

DSC,
&nbsp; &nbsp; I don't know. &nbsp;Eclipse &gt; (Fijitsu Ten) &gt; (Mashusta) &nbsp;&lt; (Panasonic) = (800 other electronics brands that Mashusta owns) &nbsp; They make good stuff. &nbsp;It was very cool 3 years ago until they made their decks look like Clarion, and put in those ////|||||\\\\ angled star wars displays. &nbsp;But as far as quality they are excellent. &nbsp;I just hate the look. &nbsp; I myself am a big Alpine fan. &nbsp;I want to post the install of my stealth stereo somewhere on this site, but I don't know who to ask... do you?

Is that a joke? &nbsp;These CD players are like 3 or 4 years old man! &nbsp;Burners were barely even around. &nbsp;The 7949 was the shit in like 1998. &nbsp;I'll sell you my 7969 for $500. &nbsp;It plays CD-R just fine. &nbsp;And it isn't so #### old!! &nbsp;It's also way cooler than both of those decks.

yeah eclipse is good stuff, there is a place i checked out on the weekend that deals in them and i am considering upping my speaks with it, but its in the same price bracket as MB Quart, Boston, JL, i i think i'd trust them a bit more, but i def would not pass up any eclips efer a good deal...

i mgiht have a line on a zapco 100 x 2, last years... going for 599 canadian, might be able to snatch it for a bill or less, we'll see

i hear the 7949 has a bit of a problem, but the &nbsp;all i know is the 7941's predecessor, the 7940 couldnt read cd-r's at all, I would definately pick the 7949 over the 7941. the 7949 however only has a regulated 1 bit DAC

[duderiffic]

Well if any of you all are looking for car audio stuff like amps or speakers or whatever I work at a store between classes so I can sometimes score an excellent deal on stuff. &nbsp;Just e-mail me or post &amp; ask. &nbsp;I'll help anyone out!

Jeff

Grant,
&nbsp; &nbsp;Are you sure the 7949 didn't have the M DAC in it? &nbsp; I can't remember what high end Alpine unit did. &nbsp;I know mine doesn't have it. &nbsp; So I thought the 49 did. &nbsp;The MDAC is still a 1-bit D/A.

I dunno...

Jeff

[duderiffic]

I just looked it up... You're right Grant... was it really only the D852 / D855 that ran the MDAC? &nbsp;I know the S624 has MDAC too....
