I read some reviews about the 5303 and saw that it was a very good HU a couple or so years ago. What I got is that the sound quality is amazing (havent heard mine yet, amps will be installed tomorrow), that 5V pre amps are pretty good, and they are just "made better" than nearly all out there.
What I am trying to get at is how is this deadhead different than any other deadhead out there offering 5V pre-amps, high cd signal-to-noise ratio, ease of use (forgot that one), and overall quality?
In addition, what would really make a difference if the HU is not a deadhead, but has an amp that offers clean wattage and offered the aforementioned features as well? Is the signal cleaner coming from the deadhead because of no RF interference or what?
