Alpine 9886 vs. 9887

differences between the 2 imprints?

Not quite too sure, the PXA-100 hasn't been released yet, nor is it on alpines site yet.

Um not just that, EQ, Active capability etc.

...but the 9887 does not have USB input?
so it's eq vs usb then...

The 9886, however, doesn't come with the built-in EQ, and so it needs the IMPRINT hub to access these features. Without IMPRINT, the only thing you can adjust on the 9886 is Bass/Treble Center Frequency.

When you say "IMPRINT hub", do you mean the PXA-H100, or the KTX-H100, or both? I was under the impression that you needed both to run IMPRINT with the auto calibration, but do you get the manual EQ with just the PXA-H100?

I ask because the PXA is available but the KTX is not yet (that I'm aware of).
