i heard from a reliable source that the new range of jvc head units are coming out with burr brown dac, whats the surprising thing is that these head units are apparently going to be sold starting at 300 aud and the higher ranges having 24 bit dac...(can anybody confirm this is absolutely true)
i know this will be good for sound quality and all the companies will release better quality head units due to this implementation from jvc...but then burr brown kind of loses its special appeal and wank factor that somebody can boast haha i have burr brown in my deck/amp etc
also with this introduction of doing these deck at such a cheap price with burr brown, has burr brown cost cut and just using the name to help market products? what do you think

my JVC HU has burr brown dac's and it's over 2 years old...
QUOTE (RMA @ Feb 6 2010, 01:22 AM) My only regrets are:
Selling Fudd an amp (for a fraction of the real price) that had been returned by Autobarn Geelong which had been incorrectly used by AB Geelong and turned out to be faulty when Fudd started using it.
Whilst he was given a new amp after it could not be fixed, he never acknowledged any of the assistance given and bitches to this day about it.

they are not that uncommon anymore

BB offer a large range of DACs these days, from simple CD DACs to ones suitable for MP3, SACD, DVD-A, etc, etc. they also have a large range in quality. given the nature of electronics, you can only expect DACs to become cheaper and cheaper.
so it shouldn't be of huge surprice that BB DACs are filtering into cheaper HUs. also, who's to say what 'grade' or year DAC it is? it could be an older model BB DAC, or a very entry-level one.

aaah. i loved those jvcs. the kd-sh909/707/99/77 are still some of my fave units ever below a grand... so nice to use and well built.
the newer jvc stuff has "24bit resolution, single-bit" dacs. not that it makes much of a difference because they still sound better than alpine, clarion, pioneer, kenwoot and sony headies at the same prices imo... heh. but yeah they've been able to claim BB's in the past.

Texas instrument DACs are everywhere and they have a huge range which have different features.
There are much better places to be doing custom modifications before you even think about changing a DAC.

I went to the JVC launch last night.
The $269 KD G515 has a Burr Brown DAC but only 1 RCA.
The stand-out model was the KD G615, it has 3 RCAS, Remote, AUX, MP3/WMA all for $299
Or the KD DV6105, a DVD tuner including "Giga MP3" (that's MP3 on DVD, 100 hours or so on a disc), 3 RCAs etc for $599
I also like the KD AVX1, a single DIN DVD player with 3" TFT colour screen allowing movie play back in a Single DIN space.
Another crazy bargain is the KV M705 7" motorised monitor. It can be paired with the DV6105 to make a motorised 2 DIN full AV centre for only $1448.
