Hi guys, can you tell me how you have set up your time alignment? Where did you measure from? Thanks Matt

I had a huge amount of noise with my 880. It was fine for a month then all of a sudden i had loads of whine and crackiling. Its just coming back from reapir and tbh i will be selling it as soon as it comes back. Preffered my XXV-01D

Any had any comparisons of the 2 units, looking at good sq and reliability. I have the pioneer 880rs but am not happy with it, its been in for repair for over a month.

Dont know if this helps its for a 8600 but may be of use http://www.talkaudio.co.uk/vbb/showthread.php?p=2897270#post2897270

Can anyone comment on whether the newer X991 has better SQ than the XXV-01D? Is there much difference between the 2? I know the old XXV uses dual Burr Brown DACS and the new X991 uses Wolfson, does this make a difference? Thanks for any advice. Matt

Think I will try the 880 and see what happens, if i dont like it I can always sell it and get the XXV which is cheaper.

They do but eclipse are very hard to get hold of over here.

I dont know what the x991 is, its not on sale in the UK. Is it the one with the 512mb internal memory?

The P9 combo would be great but I am a poor man lol so maybe the 880 would be the one to go for, or I could go with a Alpine 7944 with H701 processor... So many choices.

Thanks Babs, nice to have a comparisson from someone who has experience of both. I think I am going to go for the 880 although someone has a p9r combo for sale on talk audio in the uk which is very tempting:)

Receivers means that it has a radio tuner.

Current HU is Becker Grand Prix. Its not major staging issues but is just not quite good enough.

bk12321, I believe the XXV has time alignment but it is not left/right independent just front, rear and sub, it also has dual 24bit BB DACS. Thanks for the info on the auto TA, it was staging that my last HU lacked so this is good news. Matt

Hi guys, I am Matt from the UK, this is my first post over here on your forum, I am a regular on talkaudio in the UK. I was wondering if you guys could help me out as I am in a bit of a dilema on which HU to purchase next. Basically I would like to know which one of the above units will be...
