Wow, has it ever had an update in the past, and shouldn't an update be possible via USB?I'm guessing the 80PRS can't be updated with current "software"? Kinda like updating computer or playstation gaming console. And as I type this would need some sort of internet connection. Maybe that's it....internet port to be able to update software to HU..
Can't wait for it to arrive. Watched a video about it, and from what I saw it has two modes it can be installed with. Plus I don't mind tweaking and tuning. I'm excited that I chose to go with the 80 Prs.Love my 80prs. I have no need to replace it. The face plate is a bit flimsy tho so be careful pressing the buttons. First day I had it in my car, I kept playing around with all the buttons because I was trying to tune the active crossovers. Within an hour or so, I ended up breaking the left side knob handle off from hitting it back and forth so much. And then I found out I could do everything thru the remote! I was mind blown. Including all the other goodies in there that continue to surprise me. I don't even mind that I broke off the left side knob thing. If anything it looks unique now, I kinda like it. Sometimes I just use my right side knob and pull it backwards if i feel like doing it manually. If only I had read the manual, I would've knew to use the remote right away. But oh well, I don't care. It's totally worth it's price and more.
Read Jeff's reply.Wow, has it ever had an update in the past, and shouldn't an update be possible via USB?
Good for CD's but not much else. A mech-less version with better bluetooth and FLAC capabilities. HD Radio should be standard. Are those Burr-Brown 24-bit D/A still considered top of the line today?Why replace something that's already badass?
You'll have to ask Jeff that question. He knows more about this HU better than me. Once I get at it and learn everything about it, it'll take time, but in due time.Good for CD's but not much else.

Burr Brown Op-amps are generally still considered top of the line yes, however there are quite a few others that are comparable produced by other big manufacturers of semiconductorsGood for CD's but not much else.

Yes. I also have a DEH 880PRS too, Burr Brown DAC's in all their tonal glory!I have this head-unit on the way. I have yet to hear anything but the best about this head unit. Can't wait to install it. Does anyone here own one?View attachment 4279
