Want USB - Thinking of Replacing My Sony CDX-C90

[onedigit]

Can anyone give me some ideas of what is equal to or better than the Sony CDX-C90 in terms of SQ but with a USB input? I see lots of HU’s with single 24 bit Burr Browns but the C90 has four 20 bit Burr Browns. Then again maybe the new chips are better than the old ones and one is enough. I’m confused about this.

Should I stay with the C90 or can I do better?

I'm pretty new here, But the unit i'm waiting for which should be out in say 3 weeks and which i think is much better than yours is the Clarion vrx375usb HU.

But i'm sure someone else with more experience than me can chime in.

Thanks vizi. I agree the vrx375usb is better than the C90 in terms of features but do you think one 24 bit Burr Brown sounds as good as four 20 bit Burr Browns? This is what I’m fuzzy about.
