[QUOTE="adam71, post: 934883, member: 549079"] I would sure like to know where you got that info from because it sounds like BS to me. The MX406 is easily in the top 3 of SQ decks ever made and if you have some proof of this deck lacking in D/A converter dept. I would surely like to see it. So you listened to one huh?? What amps were used in that system? What speakers were used? What kind of vehicle was it in? The reason I ask all these questions is because the deck alone does NOT make an install but all the components together make the sound. Whoa !! Wait a second here. I say P9 because I have one but I do NOT think its any better than the 9255. As far as the Alpine 7990 is concerned.....they don't make them anymore and its probably due to Alpine's inablility to justify that $3500 msrp. But YOUR 9255 and MY P9 do NOT compare to the old Denon Z1 or the new Denon DCT-1 or the older Premier ODR head units in terms of build or sound quality. There is a reason those units went for so much $. And two more to add to that list would be the McIntosh MX406 and the Nakamichi CD-700. The 9255 and the P9 are easily the most affordable of all the great head units so that is what your going to see the most of, especially around these forums. Comparing the 2 would be like splitting hairs. [/QUOTE]
