[QUOTE="Jeffdachef, post: 8604825, member: 650438"] if we are talking about audio capabilities here, there are plenty of double dins that easily stack up against your x998 in terms of quality DAC, 13 band EQ with Q factor, time alignment etc.... So that sound quality argument is not valid anymore. There are some kenwood Double Dins that are 32 bit DAC which is far superior to your x998's 24 bit dac. Every audio feature that you get in your x998 is already found on a cheapo 120 dollar kenwood excelon as well. An 80 dollar JVC unit has everything as you have well as full 3 way network mode yours dont have have both are 24 bit dac as well so the internals are equivalent. Technology has gone a long way man. The x998 was good 4-5 years back but nowadays, its getting outdated in terms of raw audio specs. Also audio setups and standards have gotten a lot higher nowadays. Active is a must if you want true sound quality and sound stage + loudness and clarity. Otherwise you will have a mediocre soundstage at best using components and their passive crossover and having a half @ssed time alignment due to that. Active means more clean unfiltered power to your drivers, proper blend between mid and tweeter that matches the acoustical environment, the ability to time align each mid and tweeter for the best sound stage. So yeah man there's a whole world out there other than that x998. [/QUOTE]
