[QUOTE="Prowler573, post: 1444578, member: 561023"] Thanks for that comparison. I [I]know[/I] saw the Wolfson DAC mentioned somewhere when I first became aware of the KDC-X990 but while trying to find where so I could respond to excelerater's question I couldn't find it [B]anywhere![/B] Glad I have some backup on that and confirmation that I wasn't seeing things. I was wondering how the Wolfson compared to the Burr-Browns but didn't know of anyone I could inquire about it to. If the difference is minimal I cannot see it rating the extra expenditure over the XXV-01D. [IMG]//content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/mad.gif.c18f003ab0ef8a0d9c27ca78d77a6392.gif[/IMG] It's a bit maddening that Crutchfield dropped the price an additional $50 (maddening to me, anyway...I got mine about a month ago after the price had dropped to $450) but regardless of price even if the X990 [I]was[/I] a considerably better deck I couldn't justify that kind of audio purchase so soon after having already made a major one. One of the best comparisons between the XXV-01d and other top-shelf units from its competitors that I have seen thus far. Thanks for that.
