I just got a call from our Clarion supplier to say that my Clarion HX-D2 head unit has just arrived.
Not cheap though at NZ$2799 retail.

After 3 months, the last peice of my system has arrived and I'm happy as a pig in mud.

...lucky bastard...

It's hard for me to share your excitment without myself having one.

Dont suppose they've got another one sitting around and are prepared to swap for a 8yr old pioneer unit.

hey congratulations, that deck will give you years of enjoyment...wish i could enjoy having one as well

Great! I hope you enjoy using it as much as I do now...it is a very fine piece of deck, sir! Btw, my HU is installed and tuned, and it sounds wonderful! Of course, there's the issue with stock tweeters I'm currently using right now, but hopefully in the coming weeks I can have it fixed.

Cheers,

Bon

u wait 3month for HX-D2? Albert hi-fi cannington,in perth, have that item since the last 5 or 6 month, and nobody touch it :D

I told our source that Oz has had them for a few months when I was asking him why it took so long to get them here.
I was suspecting "other" reasons.
But, no need to wonder anymore.

NZ only got 2 for the whole country can you believe it?

congrats mate. loooooooovely unit. i bet your as happy as a pig in mud (lucky sod).

if ever you want to go "oldschool" i'll swap it for my 9255

Take a look at the HX-D1:

- Even more Expensive
- No DSP
- Only two pairs of Preouts
- HDCD Decoder

Mmm, seen that one too.
Just found out that I got the only D2 in NZ.
I feel so speshel.

It's so pretty when all lit up.

the hx-d1 has been out for aaaages. the d1 really was the predecessor to the d2, not the 9255.

i've only ever seen 1 in a car and 1 in a car mag (the black merc in incar some months back). they're very similar to the 9255 in dacs/filtering/opamp yet with a greater feature set. they run the same dc-dc converter as the 9255 too, from memory.

i'd imagine they'd be quite the collector's item nowadays!
