these units dont have anything more than the eclipse as far as i know, ur not getting any cleaner sound or anything. The eclipse has every feature u could possible need in a head unit including every Xover point u could want, very indepth time correction, 2 levels of 6 band Parametric EQ's (1 for highs 1 for mids) and phase control. So yea im sure those decks mentioned have this, but there isnt anything else really beyond it in performance.

I'm running an Alpine DVA 7996. Built in DVD. Pretty nice kinda boring looking though.

First of all anyone really into high end sound would NOT be using the decks internal crossover. They'd be using seperate everything. //content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/wave.gif.002382ce7d7c19757ab945cc69819de1.gif

On a side note, that 8053 or the Premier P9 aren't even close the same calibur as the McIntosh units or the Nakamichi CD-700II. I'm not biased ok its just the simple truth.

Denon Z1, Nakamichi CD700II, Sound Monitor (Eclipse's high end in Japan), McIntosh MX406 just to name a few. And really Alpine's high end JDM products kick the crap out of anything here in America. Also, Pioneer has ODR gear in other markets as well. The US just doesn't have the high end need that other countries do, so we really don't have much of a "high end" offering here in the states.

But I'm running the Denford 8240 //content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/smile.gif.1ebc41e1811405b213edfc4622c41e27.gif Does everything I need it too, reads the discs and changes the volume //content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/biggrin.gif.d71a5d36fcbab170f2364c9f2e3946cb.gif

I dont believe any of the decks mentioned can touch the low impedance output signal of 55ohms....so I have to agree that the 8v(8443/8454/8053) Eclipse decks are pretty darn high end

had a denon once. it was about 8 years ago though. it still was a great deck. it was an old school pull out deck. flip the little handle up and slide the whole deck out. anyone remember those?

And none of the deck's mentioned can match the Z1's DAC.........or even come close to it. Oh, and you stand corrected.....the Z1 has 50ohm preouts //content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/wink.gif.608e3ea05f1a9f98611af0861652f8fb.gif

I have a "high end" Alpine, cda-9815. It does everything and more I could need it to, but don't decieve yourself - Alpine is definitly NOT "high end high end"

I stand corrected- still thats pretty close on the spec that probably has the most importance in SQ as far as signal tranfer-thats on hell of a distance between prices tho
