Alpine IVA-w200 vs W205 vs D105 vs D106 to work with PXA-H701

Hey guys,

I think there are more Alpine HUs that can run the PXA-H701, but here's the list I'm working off:

CDA-9887 good HU 4 volt outputs only $270 if I don't want to play DVDs...great buy

All the DVDs only have 2 volt rather than 4 volt. I know most think it doesnt matter..whatever. Price jumps double to go DVD with a screen

W200 looks fine, $500

W205 adds optical output, would I use this? $575

D105 the one I was really interested in cuz it plays DviX!! Can't find any on eBay!!

D106 $670

I don't see much option change to add all the cost to all of these. So I am deciding either 9887 if not DVD cuz its so much cheaper, W200 if the addition of optical out wont be used, but i believe I would benefit spending the extra $75 on the 205 to run optical to the H701? I can't find the DivX playing 105, and what's the point in the 106 for another $100?

I'd go with the w200 because I like the h701 interface on that better than the w205. Also, because I don't care for the blackbird.

where are you getting an H701 from ?

Also, most people report a noise floor using other than optical input to the H701. I have the 205/701 combo and never noticed the noise - I compete and never did any of the judges. I now have 2 FO's to the trunk, one for the 205 and one for the new S690 DVD changer I will put in today or tomorrow.
