anyone have this in there car? Anyone have pics of one? I heard that the 45Z is a good choice, how much would this run?

 

whatever teken said..

what other headunits can you find with 24bit D/A converter for ~$320?

 

really? thats interesting...
i thought all those top-end decks such as the nakamichi CD-45Z, Alpine CDA-7990, Denon, McIntosh, etc uses 24bit converter for SQ? very interesting topic...

wait..some denon decks can be found for under $320? show me where!!! i'm interested..

 

Nakamichi has always been a great company there distortion ratios are just about nill on everthing they make. I haven't seen an amp by them for a long time but I remember the distortion level used to be 0.0005% wow!

Dual 24 bit DA coverters is nothing new and has been around for a while. Nakamichi's are nice but as stated above lack features.

missing like what kind of features? if it sounds great..what other features would you need?

 

Sound comes from a combination of items not just the head unit esp if you wnat a nice system.. .. I agree with TEKEN about Nakamichi

 

i was refered that these were good decks. I want something that looks stock, my pioneer looks all flashy and someone might want to break into my car.

 

My Uncle has a Nakamichi in his "weekend" car. It's older, but he has a denon amp for every speaker in the car. Needless to say, the sound quality is incredible. Tapes sound like CD's on that system, and more.

 

Denon makes stuff for the JDM market..VERY EXPENSIVE:

BTW, Teken is right about the old Nakamichi tape decks (I have a BX-300, not in the same league as the Dragon, but still the shiet)

I don't like the looks of them either

 

Ha, that McIntosh looks like a mini version of all of the home systems and hardware.

 

I have a cd-40z and a nakamichi amp in my ride and let me tell you.. THEY ARE FAWKIN CLEAN!!!!

 

Be careful Nakamichi filed for Chapter 11 bankruptcy several months ago, and warranty service and technical support could become scarce..
Kinda like what happened to Clifford after DEI bought them out...

Several months later things began to straighten out but it took DEI quite awhile to get back on track...

Its all for sale now.. email me for prices or just reply to this post
I need to finish up some wire loom and what not but this was started on fri and finished on saturday.. and now I dont like it.. want to sell it all!!
VERY CLEAN AND somewhat loud, but sound quality is what I was going for!!

 

if i remember correctly mac had a few headunits in the late 90s
the one in the pic, (cant remember the model) is a rebadged clarion 9575
not that theres anything wrong with that, i had one.
i replaced it with an alpine 7909 (bad move), but the point im trying to make is, both of these decks are regarded as alltime top 5 (at least), and both have dual 20 bit Burr-Brown. infact, the only deck i can think of FOR SURE, that are not 20 bit, and are considered a hardcore SQ deck is the pioneer p1,p9 and the eclipse cd8062. (it is possible that im wrong about p1,p9)

anyways tekken
