Pioneer have units with optical outs on them, I was wondering if you could use one of them with the XDP-4000x? I know you need a unilink to turn the 4k on, so I was thinking about putting my C910 in the boot with the unilink connected and the optical out from the pioneer connected up to the 4k.

You'd still need to use your c-910 for volume control, and selection of crossover and sound presets, since these are all unilink controlled, along with power on and off. So in essence, all you'd be using the pioneer for is the actual soundstream, of which you could just as easily get from your c910. Sure, what you are thinking would work, but why? Just for a new look in your dash? I don't think it's worth the pain.

Then i would only use the C910 selection of presets?

There is no way to control volume of an optical signal. So, yes you would need the 910 for all of its functions and the Pioneer would be a cd slot. ----- Original Message ----- From: "Colin (DP Motorsport)" Subject: RE: XDP4000X-List: Pioneer with Optical Out > --> XDP4000X-List message posted by: "Colin (DP Motorsport)" > > Would the volume control not work on the Pioneer unit?
