Which input would I use on my C90? If there are problems w/heat, etc, it might be a better way to play multiple cd's. also, I could continue to look for cheaper options for MP3 play, like a used Phatbox, for example. From: DB Subject: Re: XDP4000X-List: RE: using sony's 6-disc or 10-disc changer to play MP3s --> XDP4000X-List message posted by: DB Put it this way: The Audio quality is pretty decent, considering that it was mostly used for MP3 playback. ;-) If it sounded bad or ugly, it would've got the heave-ho for me. If you want a way to contain 7 albums on a CD, it's the only way to go. For critical listening, the headunit, or the changer with the digital out would be best, but by no means is the MP3 changer a slouch in the audio department.

I had the 2 changers in the car running, and had no problems at all! http://www.cardomain.com/item/SONXAC30 If you use the XDP-4000, you can plug in the changer there. On the CDX-C90, the changer control plug is on the back of the deck. You can plug in the XA-C30 to the head unit as well, and control multiple changers as well. The CDX-C91's optical output is meant for the XDP-4000, and sony's line of DSP/EQ units. It will not directly connect to the head unit via optical cable. (only via analog RCA's) The Phatbox is NOT a cheap option, however. :-( D John Anderson wrote: >--> XDP4000X-List message posted by: "John Anderson" > >Well that sounds better, alternatively, is there a preferred changer that >uses the digital out?

IM not trying to put anyone down, i just think that it defeats the purpose of having a great system. Dave
