audio set-up for beginners [continued]

You do not need FLAC in a car environment. The car is too naturally busy and noisy that you won't enjoy the subtleties loseless brings.

Ang available kasi dito ay pioneer 8750bt tapos ang sunod na lower model is 2750bt, so walang masyadong difference sa sound quality kahit 2750bt nalang ilagay kong head unit? Thanks

Salamat sir. Ikaw din ba yung nasa kabilang forum about home audio? hehe.
Di ba sir parang sa home audio din ang principle ng car audio, like garbage in = garbage out? Sa mga honda forums kasi known na talagang di maganda ang sound quality ng stock head units nila. Balak ko din kasi magplay ng flac files kaya gusto palitan ng head unit. Bale baka mag all out na ako sa avh-x8750bt hehe. Or mas ok kaya sir palitan ko head unit tapos pag nagkabudget na ulet e dagdag ako sound processor? salamat nang madami :D

Sa pinoydvd ba sir? or wiredstate? Either way, may account ako on both hehe. Meron na sir bagong HUs from Pioneers like the 2850bt and the 5850bt. Both can play Flac. Yung disadvantage lang ata ng mga lower units sa 8750 will be the medium where the flac files are stored. Standard through SD, pero not sure if it can play flac from cd or through usb. Plus yung ayoko sa 8750 is carplay synching my phone messages on the HU. Yari ka sa misis mo kapag may mga ninja text ka nakastore dun na tinatago kay misis. Hehe.

Sa pdvd sir, same nad owners hehe.
Balak ko nga sana 5850bt or 2850bt kaso wala pa sa dun sa shop sa Abu Dhabi ng newer models. Kaya either 8750bt or 2750bt lang choices ko. 8750bt pa rin type ko kasi for added features like carplay. Si misis lang naka iphone, ako android kaya di ako kinakabahan sa mga ninja sms hahaha

The most enjoyable quality of going for a more expensive head unit would probably be the bigger screen estate. SQ-wise, the elephant in the room is probably the additional pre-out voltage (not too sure if this applies to the current crop nowadays) and more pre-outs.

The 2850 is excellent as a basic head unit and ticks all the boxes most people need. Though I did heard through Banawe dealers that it has a rather medium rate of warranty issues. Not too sure if that's accurate or simply a marketing ploy to get me to buy the 5850. Possibly the latter really.

Re: FLAC
Uhh, not too sure if you can throw FLAC sa CD. USB possibly. CD.... not too sure about that.

For the record, I just use 320kbps .mp3 files as much as possible for space considerations. Though I do admit I have a bit of ALAC (FLAC equivalent) for my more "SQ" oriented tracks. I play mainly through an iPod AUX digital.

Actually i am leaning towards 5850 or 8750 because of the 7inch screen size. My stock head unit has the same 7inch screen. If I will use 2850, I think a smaller screen will make me feel I downgraded it haha. Kasi gagastos na din lang dun na sa medyo happy tayo hehe. Actually 5850 na gusto ko kaso my 2015 crv has 2 cameras, reverse and blindspot cameras yung nasa right mirror. 8750 has 2 camera inputs. 5850 might be ok with an adaptor for a second cam but the price of the adaptor may force me to go to 8750. Actually para may idea kayo sa price sa UAE, malaking mura 8750 compared in Ph.

2750bt - 13-15k php
2850bt - not yet in Stock pero as per pioneer middle east is around same price as 2750bt
5850bt - no stock yet also, no idea sa price
8750bt - 30k php

Steering wheel controls adaptor - 7k php
Secondary cam adaptor - no idea but I assume around same price as steering wheel controls

All prices are in UAE Dirhams converted to Php.

Halos same price lang dito Sir. Sa tingin ko mapapagastos ka din sa dashkit, dito around 3k din yun. Hintayin na natin yung 8850BT, kasi kahit ako yun din inaabangan ko for my crv. Baka raw June lumabas.

Adventure din sasakyan ko. Ano nga ba ang pwedeng set up na di na papalitan ang head unit, max 20K ang budget.
