Silver Member Username: Scab12886Post Number: 114 Registered: Oct-04 | as most have probably already read in my previous posts, i'm in the epic battle of whether to get an eclipse or alpine head unit. i'm leaning towards the alpine 9835 b/c of the display and i think it will be cheaper than the new eclipses. just one question about the eclipses. i know they have a bundle of great features, but do they have anything to use with the Ipod. i know alpine has the interface to connect the Ipod, does eclipse offer anything of that sort or no? any help on this or just any input at all about anything would be great. thanks in advance. |

Eclipse CD5444 offers music in 24 bit dac while alpine is 1 bit. thats the major differance. Alpine is xm ready and eclipse has no satellite features. Thats the only loss if you are looking for that feature. Also eclipse offers 8 volt preouts while alpine is 4 volt. Not a major differance but its usually better for your amps. |

Unregistered guest | Anyone have a website for the cd5444? I like it for the memory stick(SD? or Sony?) its a nice option short of the ipod control. |

Do the Eclipse 5455 or the 5445. Bothare able to interface with an ipod as well as being sirus ready. The 5444 is the IMO better looking last years model. |

Just search Eclipse CD5444 and it may find some that are new for a good price. The one i got cost me $500 plus shipping but it was product of the year and has so many features. |
