[QUOTE="raverx3m, post: 6516600, member: 563973"] i belive that whould be more expensive since it would need a more powerfull processor. the deck already has a DAC for the preamp after which it goes to either internal amp or to external.. the 2 options for digital are coaxial digital and optical digital. coaxial digital is similar to RCA cable and will also pick up noise and has other limitations optical digital cannot be bent past certain angle. and of course the licensing and other corporate BS then there is a thing called consumer research that tells companies that this certain idea will not make any money so DONT DO IT... so in this case after few attempts to show off and "be the first one to introduce" the companies backoff and wait untill it goes mainstream so they can say look here back in the day... look what i can do... alpine made a 5 channel optical amp and they still make optical output on their indash monitors my guess the problem would be is everyone tries to push their own standard home audio usually gets their sht straight alot quicker than car audio why i dont know especially is they are made by same company... pioneer makes a cd player with optical outputs and amps to go with it mercedes makes the optical audio (harmann/something) that are pain in the *** to work around. but the amp is tiny. the amp is the size of a harddrive with a big heatsink mounted on it powers 9 speakers + subwoofer. pretty **** good.
