Car audio amplifier with digital audio inputs
"_" _@ wrote in message ...
I'm looking for a car audio amplifier with digital audio inputs. I'm having a real tough time finding one. Is there anything out there on the market like this? not yet and it any be a while, since most HUs and Procs. don't have a digital output standard. |

Most manufacturers gave up long ago, not because there wasn't a standard, but because the cost-benefit ratio didn't justify the technology. Sony had digital fiber optic outputs and amps that accepted it as input in their Mobile ES line. Eclipse had digital outputs on all their ESN CD heads at one point. Alpine still uses it's AINet protocol which carries the audio signal in addition to data (used mainly for outboard processors). -- thelizman "I didn't steal the FAQ either" Before you ask a question, check the FAQs for this newsgroup at http://www.mobileaudio.com/rac-faq.

Car audio amplifier with digital audio inputs
I believe it was actually the Pioneer ODR system that had amps with
digital inputs... in the first generation Mobile ES products, Sony only used digital optical connections between the P-1, other digital sources, and the X-1 processor. The amps only had unbalanced analog RCA inputs. Don't recall them changing that for the later Z50 but I could be wrong. JD thelizman wrote: Tha Ghee wrote: "_" _@ wrote in message ...

I know that Alpine and Phoenix Gold both are producing
amplifiers that have a Fiber Optic input. Octane-R 5.1MT Alpine MRA-D550 I'm looking for a car audio amplifier with digital audio inputs. I'm having a real tough time finding one. Is there anything out there on the market like this? |
