Pioneer Premier DEX-P9 CD Receivers

Pioneer Premier DEX-P9 CD Receivers 

DESCRIPTION

The Premier DEX-P9 is a competition-level single-CD player with performance unlike any other. For the purest signal transfer, each pre-amp output (low/mid/high) includes separate 24-bit DAC's and high volt outputs (4 volts). Also included are an optical input and output, which further improve the purity of the signal as it's passed to other components. The titanium-gray DEX-P9 has a clean look and a large display area, and boasts a motorized, detachable faceplate and a new rotary knob. If desired, the unit's bright, full-motion Organic EL screen can be turned off (Blackout Mode). A two-year warranty applies.

To many

Weakness:

The mid bass X-over can go that low

One of the best HU & DSP out on the market

Strength:

Clean sound, optical in/outputs, and great looks

Weakness:

No tweaking capabilities with the unit alone. No frills.

I bought this deck and loved it. It does not have many features as a stand alone unit, but when I bought the DEQ-P9...Oh my! I would put this deck against any deck ever made. This thing is beautiful

Strength:

Pristine D/A conversion and sound, for what little eq tweaking it has.

Weakness:

As noted, the basic eq options it has are so painfully few that your car has to be a near studio in order to appreciate the sonic merits of the deck, if you were to use it alone. So, remember: If you choose to buy this unit, make sure that you have the cash to get the DEQ-9 along with it because you are certainly going to need it. As a combination, though, they are superbly matched and will do great things for your car audio.

This is a superior head unit but, and this is the major caveat, it is painfully bare-bones as a stand alone unit. That is, if you''re looking for big eq options with this unit alone, look elsewhere. You are pretty much obligated to get the DEQ-9 along with it to get the real goods. So, buying this unit per se is not going to cut it by any means.

None at this level, thus far.

Strength:

This receiver plays exceptionally clean at very loud volumes, and the silver finish really adds to the asthetic value of any vehicle''s interior.

Weakness:

About 3 days after I purchased the unit, in a drunken stumper I accidentally smashed my remote while exiting my vehicle, and basically the operation functions of the unit have been cut by some 50%, hopefully the remote will be repaired soom. Not to mentions I''m getting a DEQ-P9 before the week is out and I hope I can utilize some of its features without the remote.

This is a very clean sounding deck I have it running 2 pairs of Boston Pro components in a dual amp setup. Currently, my components are being pushed by a PPI 4400, with my single Punch DVC 12" being powered by a Phoenix Gold 350, but I''m going to replace it with a Soundstream 10.2. This deck has unlimited potential once paired with the DEQ-P9. Not to mention I purchased it along with my components for less money than the deck costs alone.

Similar Products Used:

Pioneer DEH 9200, but I''m not one for all the gimmicks provided with this deck not to mention sound quality isn''t as pure.
