I liked the new alpine with the touch screen. I guess the on screen buttons have
force feedback that makes the screen simulate real buttons.

Thought that much of it huh?
TRU Tech has some promising new equipment coming out this year. There are others
but none worth mentioning. :)
Oh, well there is that new Clarion DRZ9255. I'm half tempted to get it since it
will replace the C90 AND the 4000X and I'll have less installation issues and
no more fuss aboutadd onsbeing compatible with Unilink or buying adapters for
$30-300 that should be $5-30.

All
Re: the use of an M650 for the control of a 4000x, I originally built my
system using a M650. It worked well but when I finally switched out the M650
for a C90, there was a substantial increase in sound quality and dynamic
range. This I cant understand, because I wasnt using the headunit for CD
playback, rather Im using an 805 changer with digital into the 4000x. So, I
dont know why and/or cant explain, but there was a big difference, and I
only swapped the head unit. Compared to the C90, the sound when using the
M650 was dull and muffled.

Roland,
Did not even consider the xr-m550, but actually that is a better option,
since I do own tapes.
Thanks

Yeah it might be a good choice then. They are pretty rare though, in North
America at least. I checked the product manual and it does indeed support
DSPs, the XDP-4000X is even listed in the optional equipment section of the
manual.
