Yes this is one of the few head units that can do an active 4 way set up with the capabilities to bandpass on the low and mid outs. It somewhat lacks equalization but this head unit has still won many sound quality competitions so i doubt its that important. My drx9255 which has no eq or crossover sounds excellent just running straight through the unit. I know the drx was made by mcintosh but i dont recall the details of the drz. Either way it does come from japan.
I like the volume knob much better then the previous drx model from McIntosh but i think the buttons feel a little bit cheaper. Although it could just be because its not broken in yet. It was only slightly used when i got it.
