Hence why I have an Alpine 7894 in one vehicle (practically an entry-level... lowest unit with 1-bit DAC, time alignment, and MP3 capability (I converted many of my old cassette tapes to MP3 - crackles and all :p )...
...and a Pioneer 8600MP in the other car (also similar high end CD transport and DAC, also time alignment and MP3, and even more features I don't use - ergonomics and menu on this deck are great, but no mute button like my Alpine, and you can't "whip" the volume knob down - the only thing I think this deck lacks).

I despise digital volume knobs. They were actually what drove me to using the Orion 300PRQ preamp.. so I could get a real, analog volume knob again.
