[QUOTE="JerryLancaster, post: 8736998, member: 682385"] Hey y'all, Sifting through the marketing BS is doing my nut! I'm looking for a simple single DIN head unit with top tier sound quality. I have an extensive FLAC library, many of which are 24bit, and I want something I can plug my iPhone into and get those high quality files to my amp. Is the Pioneer DEH-80prs still the best bet? The burr-brown DAC and 16band EQ/dsp sounds like me. But it's quite old now, and hard to get hold of where I am. Apparently Covid has made getting stock very hard. Also in the non-car-audio pro audio world, DAC quality gets exponentially better as time goes and for less $$$. So could there be a newer, cheaper, easier to get hold of single DIN unit that could suit my needs? Or should I just persevere on the quest for the 80prs? I'm not concerned with on board amps or other bells and whistles. Cheers! [/QUOTE]
