[QUOTE="adam71, post: 547131, member: 549079"] First of all, its 20 bit Alpha Processing. Its been around for a long time and I wasn't aware that anyone other than Denon used such a process. I would like to see some proof of these Eclipse decks using such a process. Not calling you a liar but I see no where in the recent Eclipse lit or on the Eclipse web-site (which is a horrible web-site as far as giving useful info) that mentions this. Also, squeak wasn't basing his total opinion on the Z1 based on only Alpha Processing. Denon decks have copper plated chassis, very good build quality, and very high quality standards. That is what makes it a GREAT deck, NOT just a couple of features. One more thing, Have you ever heard touched or seen an older Premier ODR deck? Or what about the P9?? Very solidly made decks. Don't base your opinion of Pioneer decks based on some the lower model decks. Pioneer targets just about every market from the "every day" listener to most demanding "audiophile". So yes some of the lower model decks aren't built the best. But all manufacturers make sub par decks on the lower end. [/QUOTE]
