THIS IS THE RARE LEGENDARY AUDIOPHILE SQ HEAD UNIT SONY CDX-C90. $500 shipped. Perfect condition.

A LOT OF EXPERT FEELS THIS HEAD UNIT SOUNDS BETTER THAN CLARION DRZ9255 OR EVEN MCINTOSH MX406.

IT COMES WITH DC-DC CONVERTER AND HAS COPPER CHASIS TO PREVENT ANY NOISE.

THIS HEADUNIT IS THE BEST HEADUNIT THAT I EVER TRY(I HAD NAKAMICHI CD700, ECLIPSE SOUNDMONITOR CD400, MCINTOSH MX406, AND CLARION HXD/DRZ9255; NONE OF CAN BEAT THIS SONY CDX-C90).

MRSP PRICE WAS $2000 HEADUNIT.

I HAVE TO LET IT GO NOW. MY LOST IS YOUR GAIN !

It comes with Manuals, all accessories including wired and wireless remote.

Here is the full description.

This peerless CD player/tuner has four 20-bit Burr-Brown D/A converters for truly lifelike musical reproduction. But the big story here is Sony's new analog preamp, which is capable of harnessing the full potential of the cutting-edge CD circuitry. For the first time, preamp functions are handled by a device with equal-to-CD specs, and you'll be awed by the CDX-C90's exceptional dynamic range. Simply activate the DVOL function (bypasses all circuits except volume control) and get ready for unparalleled audio clarity.

Since all CDs are recorded differently, and listening environments vary, the 4-position VC digital filter adjusts the oversampling method, optimizing imaging and dynamics disc by disc. To ensure that this superior audio technology is not compromised by simple skipping, Sony has built in Advanced Electronic Shock Protection. Three sets of 4-volt preamp outputs (including a subwoofer out with adjustable low-pass filter) provide flexibility for the required outboard amps, since none are built-in.

The sensitive SSIR-EX tuner is enhanced with Adaptive Reception, a feature that minimizes station-to-station interference by sensing adjacent-station interference and adjusting IF bandwidth accordingly. And not only does the receiver have a copper-shielded chassis, but the built-in preamp board is completely separate from the other internal components. That means no electrical interference.

The motorized, fold-down face offers a user-configurable full-dot matrix LCD for system status at-a-glance. The included RM-X90 driver's remote is equipped with the same Rotary Encoder as the receiver, allowing unprecedented ease of control from the steering wheel. This wired remote even detaches from its base, providing an extra measure of security. A wireless remote is also supplied for your passengers' convenience.

Be sure to check out the full line of Mobile ES amplifiers, for exceptionally transparent, crystal-clear sound that will do this receiver justice. Add a CD changer when you order the CDX-C90, and you'll save $$ with our package discount.

This H/U is badass! I had the pleasure of listening to a SONY CDX-C90 + Mobile ES combo. Didn't expect what i heard to come from a Sony. Maybe audiolife will chime in as I think he still has his.

Free bump for ya!
