[QUOTE="outbacksport, post: 236097, member: 548380"] Has anyone heard or know somebody with this new nakamichi product. CD400, the latest product in Nakamichi's line of Mobile Sound System , receives Design and Engineering Showcase Award at the 2003 International Consumer Electronics Show. This revolutionary head unit represents a radical departure from the industry norm as it delivers true audiophile-sound quality, available for the first time from Nakamichi at an affordable price. The CD-400 incorporates state-of-the-art 24-bit digital-to-analog converters - an advanced technology application unheard of before in the mid-price range. The result - audibly superior musical reproduction! Reading this from their website makes me think twice in purchasing an Alpine 9813. I know there were problems with the CD45z, don't know though if they fixed everything on the cd-400. I have to go to a nakamichi dealer and audition on this particular HU. Nakamichi CD-400 with 24 bit d/a converter = $449.00 Alpine CDA-7990 with 24 bit d/a = $3,000.00 Why does alpine uses 1 bit in the rest of the line? Does anyone understand the technology their using with their d/a converters? All i know the more the bits the better sq you get. Any comments and suggestions gladly appreciated. Thanks. [/QUOTE]
