I have been looking at other headunits, and one I came across was the JVC KD-900. It has a higher preout voltage (5V vs. 4V) and some other nice features that the Alpine headunit (now considering the CDA-117) doesn't have. Also, I have read the USB function is a lot quicker and more efficient than the one on the Alpine headunit. It seems like it doesn't have as good of sound/EQ control as the Alpine, though (ie. Alpine has time correction and a 7-band parametric EQ as opposed to no time correction on the JVC and only a 3-band parametric iEQ). I don't know if the added EQ adjustments on the Alpine will make a difference in the long run, though, since I don't plan on running an active setup. What do you think? Does anyone have any experience with this headunit?
