Greetings,
I recently purchased an Alpine DVA 7996 head unit and was wondering how it compares to the Alpine CDA 7998 in terms of SQ and look.
I've read a lot about the 7998's biolight go out but I am not sure if the same problem also applies to the DVA 7996.
For those of you who are familiar with these two models, could you please provide some inputs/feedback on your experiences with them?
I would love to know about these models' reliability, performance, SQ, and compatibility with the rest of my setup.
My current setup (in a 98' M3 convertible) consists of the following:
Alpine TDA 7558 cassette deck
Alpine ERA-G320 Equalizer
Alpine SPX 13-Pro front component speakers
Alpine SPS rear speakers
Alpine CHA S602 CD changer
Alpine PDX V9 5-channel amplifier
Brax Matrix 10' subwoofer in a custom downward firing sealed box
Will upgrading to either a DVA 7996 or CDA 7998 substantially improve the SQ?
Other than the head unit, do you recommend any other simple upgrade to improve the SQ of my system?
Also, what are the differences between the DVA 7996 and 7996R, J, or E models?
Thank you very much in advance and I apologize for my first post being so long.
