Hi, does anybody have any thoughts on how this years CD3403 compares to the lower end models of last year.. ie the CD3421. I noticed looking at the Aus. site that the CD3403 has noticably lower stereo separation, s/n ratio and dynamic range figures compared to the CD3421. Would this be different measurement techniques or could the CD3403 be designed to a lower standard and cost than the CD3421. I listened to the CD3403 but couldn't form an opinion as their was nothing on the same board to compare it with. I have to say though that the Mp3 section appears to be pretty usable with decent seek times. Thanks.

Good to see someone reads the spec's
cd3421 will give a much better performance. I have one in my jeep and find it hard to fault.
cd3403 in a base model unit priced well for a base model, but is a base model, replacing the cd3412.
sacrafices have to be made, so how important is mp3, if you are after a mp3 player stereo separation is not really that important.
If you want quality sound stick with the cd3421 & give the mp3 a miss...
