[QUOTE="raverx3m, post: 6772272, member: 563973"] oh but to answer the question. if you do just listen to cds then there should be no problem for you since there are plenty of CD capable units that have great EQ. but if you want to play digital music, WAV, FLAC for example then youre halfway out of luck they finally started to add WAV support to this and last year's units. but still no flac support.( i just call it beeing a ***** since they dont want to add flac support in fear that it will not be popular) as far as units. the cda-9887 alpine is a great unit, but doesnt have USB cda-9886 is a great unit , but doesnt have bass engine pro cda-117 is new replacement for 9886 and has added limited time allignment that will definitely fool alot of people into buying it. kenwood does have the 9 series but they are also cutting down on audio features and adding useless features like animations and annoying faceplate light beat boxes KDC-x592 was a great unit but didnt live too long. it was kenwood's attempt to bring more customers by selling an underpriced unit. it had nice eq that goes from 40 hz to 16k 3 way crossover that started from 30 hz for mids and some other usefull features kdc-x693 came out and has more limited eq and crossover... but has the multicolor display...
