I wish I never sold mine either. I liked almost everything about the unit
except for the damn display... I hope my new Denon DCT Z1 keeps me happy
when I install it

I understand. The C90 does a TON of stuff a lot of other high end units
doesn't, i.e. bypassing the tone controls altogether and the ability to
change the type of filter the D/A converter uses. I still wish I hadn't
sold mine.

Well I have to say I'm pretty surprised at that. I can't stand having
to
turn down the bass at lower volumes only to turn it back up again at
higher
volumes. I had always been under the assumption that any unit w/o a
loudness function, or ones with one that was turned off, that the
frequency
response would remain more or less linear throughout the volume range.
The
better the HU the more flat the curve would be.
I've had top models from Eclipse, Alpine & Nakamichi and none of them
did
this. I honestly didn't notice this on my Sony for quite some
time...and
I
ALWAYS notice stuff like that. Just freakin' weird I tell you!
Sorry...I'm venting, not arguing.
Thanks,
Tony

The bass turning itself down at high volumes is not an issue with low
level
linearity, it a design function. It works exactly like a loudness
function
that turns down at high volume. It's to keep the system from clipping
at
that frequency. Only fairly high end deck will do this on the
loudness
and
the C90 is the only one that I know of that does it on the bass and
treble.
Basically it's supposed to be like that and it's a good thing to have
on
there.

Wow...that's odd. Isn't low-level linearity a trademark of any
high-end
HU?
I believe I am correct when I say the C-90 is right up there with a
few
other select best-of-the-best HUs. Right?

That's the way the unit is designed to work. Mine did the same
thing.

I've never really noticed this before..not sure if it's always
been
this
way
or something new. Lately I've noticed that the bass level tends
to
be
more
exaggerated at lower volume levels. But when I turn up the
volume,
past
3/4, the sound is more linear.
I've experienced this with head units using a LOUDNESS feature,
but
this
is
not a feature of this particular unit.
Anyone?
