hi all,

i need recommendations on a good HU (im going mainly for SQ, not looks,etc..) that must have an aux input...

this is cos i listen MAINLY to my mp3 player (now using cassette adaptor..SQ sux) when in my car..

the catch is, my budget is low, only RM600..

so far, i've come up with Sony CDXGT300/200 and JVC KDG615, but i dont know the price of these HUs..plus some say the sony SQ not so good... ???

please help me..and thanks for ur time..

Sony CDX GT-550 RM6xx, (Heard 630 can get it) w 3 RCA n 1 Aux.

yalorr..
i know some can afford these...
but i cant.
so any suggestions?

for sound quality alone (dont consider anything else..):

JVC (KDG525), Panasonic (CQC3303), Pioneer (DEH 4850), or Sony (CDX GT350)?

pls help meeeeee
thanks!

U mostly listen mp3 more or CD more?

i listen mainly to my mp3 player...
now using cassette adaptor..
if i listen to cd oso...
it will either be self burnt or ori (i dont but pirated audio CDs)

does 24bit DAC make a big diff in sound?

thanks all for ur help..

unless u using 24 bit cd..or else, i will say not really useful for 24bit dac

For JVC and Sony, I encounter it choose CD to play. Some CD-R or dics format can't be read. I not sure on the model. Hope they resolve the issue on new model.

The difference between a 1-bit and 24-bit is the resolution of the music, all have it's own characteristics, there's also 18-bit and 20-bit players. But having more "bits" doesn't necessarily means better sound.

I would say that the Panasonic is a pretty good entry-level HU.

Eh... this 1 i kena once, same hom made mp3 CD Kenwood mp3 HU cant read, error message on LCD "TOC", put in civic 06 HU no problem, as my sony HU.

Agree.

Depend on personal needs I would say. If burn CD alot better choose the right HU to reduce headache. What the use of a good system that can't play your favorite CD.

alright..thanks guys...
the panasonic HUs are actually a bit cheaper than the other brands...
so it seems that i should seriously consider it...
wah, i didnt know JVC oso choosy...thought Sony only...
how about the Pioneer 4850? heard some good things about Pioneer..
what do ya'll think?

Panasonic vs Pioneer !

My panasonic HU after three years of usage-more CD pirate and less Ori..now it start to have a glitch whenever playing CD...Time to buy another HU.

hmmmm
anyone encounter cd reading difficulties with their pioneer players?
seems like JVC, Sony, Kenwood and Panasonic all oso got some problem..
susah...

i got..but with a all calar mp3 disc..wahaha...

i also thinking of upgrading my stock kenwood...
i burn own CD cannot run liao
first time ok, after that gone.. sometimes cannot read, sometimes skip kau kau....
also planning ot get with AUX for my ipod...
budget almost same as thread starter

IMO, if ur purpose meant for iPod, better get those HU design for iPod, rather than those HU need additional "converter" to iPod, at least better + smooth controlibility from HU to iPod.

AUX input is good for any 3.5mm Jack input device.
