I reserve the right to end this auction at any time What if? What if you ignored the advice of the cost accountants. What if you tried radical new approaches and dramatic new technologies in the quest for uncompromising sound.The result would be the the Sony's Reference Series.Like the CDX-C90 CD Tuner, each is a best-in-class performer.And each expresses future technology - available to the few today. VARIABLE COEFFICIENT (VC) DIGITAL FILTER: Most digital filters perform 8X Oversampling. But the way they oversample and filter largely determines the sound quality. Utterly unlike conventional designs, the CDX-C90 actually enables you to select the basic oversampling process, phase response and impulse response characteristics. Choose Standard for the wide range of Sony's Full Feed Forward design. Select Plain for direct Oversampling with outstanding dynamics. Choose Analog A for the warmth of slow roll off or Punch in Analog B to simulate the operation of a Seventh-order Butterworth Filter - well balanced and natural. Amazing but true: with the CDX-C90, the choice is finally yours! DIRECT VOLUME CIRCUIT: CD Reproduction gets better and better. But in-dash preamplifier performance hasn't kept pace. Direct Volume changes all that. This Volume, Balance and Fader Circuit employs a Crystal Semiconductor CS3311 IC. It's got a theoretical Dynamic Range of 110 dB - so you hear every last nuance of audible Compact Disc Performance. Unmatched Information and Control: The CDX-C90 keeps in control like never before. Our exotic Direct Volume Control Circuit is activated by a Rotary Encoder that turns with the simplicity of a conventional volume control. You can operate the Rotary Encoder wired remote completely by touch. At a single glance, the Dot Matrix Display shows up to ten disc, track or station names. And "Soft Keys" to the right of the display change function according to the mode. A Brilliant approach to digital filtering. A Volume control with 110 dB Signal -to-Noise Ratio. An amazingly informative dot matrix display. They make the CDX-C90 unlike anything that's come before. . 4-Position Variable Coefficient Digital Filter . Dual Burr Brown 20-Bit Sign Magnitude D/As .

About the Sony Mobile ES CDX-C90 The RM-X90 remote with a Rotary Encoder. This peerless CD player/tuner has four 20-bit Burr-Brown D/A converters for truly lifelike musical reproduction. But the big story here is Sony's new analog preamp, which is capable of harnessing the full potential of the cutting-edge CD circuitry. For the first time, preamp functions are handled by a device with equal-to-CD specs, and you'll be awed by the CDX-C90's exceptional dynamic range. Simply activate the DVOL function(bypasses all circuits except volume control) and get ready for unparalleled audio clarity. Since all CDs are recorded differently, and listening environments vary, the 4-position VC digital filter adjusts the oversampling method, optimizing imaging and dynamics disc by disc. To ensure that this superior audio technology is not compromised by simple skipping, Sony has built in Advanced Electronic Shock Protection. Three sets of 4-volt preamp outputs (including a subwoofer out with adjustable low-pass filter) provide flexibility for the required outboard amps, since none are built-in. The sensitive SSIR-EX tuner is enhanced with Adaptive Reception, a feature that minimizes station-to-station interference by sensing adjacent-station interference and adjusting IF bandwidth accordingly. And not only does the receiver have a copper-shielded chassis, but the built-in preamp board is completely separate from the other internal components. That means no electrical interference. The motorized, fold-down face offers a user-configurable full-dot matrix LCD for system status at-a-glance. The included RM-X90 driver's remote is equipped with the same Rotary Encoder as the receiver, allowing unprecedented ease of control from the steering wheel. This wired remote even detaches from its base, providing an extra measure of security. A wireless remote is also supplied for your passengers' convenience. Be sure to check out the full line of Mobile ES amplifiers, for exceptionally transparent, crystal-clear sound that will do this receiver justice.Add a CD changer when you order the CDX-C90, listed on my listings.

Please note that the display color stays the same.Note: The rotary encoder and the wired remote "Source" button each have a ring of blue illumination around them that is not affected by the button illumination setting.Optical Digital Output: This unit is equipped with a non-standard optical mini-jack output for connection to a processor with a digital input. Item 158XAD210 is required to convert the digital output to a standard TOSLINK optical digital connection.4-volt Front, Rear and Subwoofer Pre amplified Outputs: This unit is equipped with full-range front, rear and subwoofer preamp outputs. Note that the subwoofer output is non-fading.Low Preamp Output Impedance: The preamp outputs have an output impedance of 200-ohms; 200-ohms is lower than on many receivers. Low preamp output impedance allows an amplifier or processor connected this unit's preamp outputs to receive a greater portion of the output signal than it would when connected to a head unit with a higher preamp output impedance.DSP/EQ Control: This unit will control Sony's Uni-Link EQs (items 158XDP210E and 158XDP766E) and DSP processor (158XDPU50D).Four 20-bit D/A convertersThree-second ESP: This unit is equipped with 3-second electronic shock protection to prevent CD skipping during disturbances lasting up to 3-seconds in duration. Memory buffer is 4 megabits.VC (Variable Coefficient) Digital Filter: A filter that lets you change the cutoff characteristics of the digital filter to best match the CD being played and the listening environment in which it is being heard. This feature can only be used for CDs played in this unit; it has no effect on the sound of CDs and/or Mini Discs played in an optional CD/MD changer. You can set the filter to:"Plain" for high clarity and strong sound image"Analog A" or "Analog B" for a warm and deep sound image"Standard" for a wide ranging, spatial sound imageCD-Text Display: When playing a CD-Text disc in this unit, the disc name, artist name and track name are displayed (if they have all been recorded on disc). When used with a CD changer with CD Text capability, this unit can display the CD Text information of discs in the CD changer. Unit can be set to scroll CD-text display that is too long.CD Program Memory: You can store up to 2 Programs of 12 tracks each for discs in this unit or any optional CD/MD changer. You can play either program or both, and erase a single track or an entire program.SSIR-EX TunerStation Memo: You can assign a name of up to 8 characters to each of 44 stations. Stations that have been assigned names may be selected by name using the List function.Adaptive Reception: This feature has three modes (wide, narrow, auto) for optimizing FM reception. Wide mode decreases the tuner's selectivity but results in better frequency response. Narrow mode has better selectivity for improved adjacent station rejection, but frequency response is not as wide as with the wide mode. The auto mode automatically adjusts the tuner for a good balance between frequency response and minimum station-to-station interference.Cellular Mute: Mutes audio when a cellular call is received, then restores the level once the call is over. To use this feature, you must have a cellular phone with a muting output that can be connected to the muting input wire.Source Tone Memory: Each source (AM/FM/CD and CD/MD-Changer) can store its own bass and treble levels.Fold-Out Face: The CD slot is located behind the fold-out face. The face is motorized, for easy loading and unloading access.Rotary Encoder Control w/ Lever: In place of electronic up/down buttons, this unit is equipped with a control that turns like a conventional knob (for volume, bass, treble etc) and a lever control (for seek and manual tuning, track advance and track search) for easy, intuitive operation.You can change the sound and display settings by using the wireless remote:Clock: (set clock time, turn clock display in upper left hand portion of display on/off).Beep: Turns on/off the beeps that the unit normally makes when a function is selected.Rotary Remote: Changes the direction of the controls to correspond to where it is mounted (left or right of steering column).Seek/AMS: may be set to Seek/AMS to quickly locate tracks/stations, or set to "Item sel" to locate discs/stations in the name list using the wired remote or the front panel control.Digital Out: turns digital out on/off.VC Filter: selects Variable Coefficient filter setting.Direct Volume: may be set to "on" to have audio signal bypass the tone control circuit for highest signal purity, or set to "off" to have audio signal pass through the tone control circuit.P.
