[QUOTE="Jeffdachef, post: 8560220, member: 650438"] that particular Sony head unit model shouldnt be in the equation at all, low quality DAC and weak preout voltage signals on that unit, forget about even looking at that junk. Your other choice should be the kenwood kdc x301. Alpine has a sharper sound while kenwood has a warmer laid back sound signature kenwood has more EQ bands but is only graphical vs alpine's parametric. Both still have Q factors. The kenwood is easier to adjust soundstage and time alignment while alpine has an app where you can tune everything from. So UI for both is pretty solid and simple. I've used type R and Type S and can honestly say both are extremely mediocre these are much better, more detailed, smooth and have good instrument seperation.
