Clarion DB365USB
Im looking to buy a new headunit with USB input and at least 2 pre outs, dosnt need sub control as I have a sub contro that came with one of my amps
I was looking at this CLarion and as I think I would have to order it in Im not set on getting this yet. Anyone know of any other cheap (in around $250) Decks with MP3/WMA USB and 2 preouts. Kenwood also seemed to have some nice ones too

The kenwoods are nice, I agree 
I was just looking at them.. love the good quality features, 24-bit burr-brown, and usb, good stuff, but just when the decks come into my price range with better preouts, they lose the usb.. .shitty deal for me

I was lookin at that, But I was wondering what really makes a 5v pre out better than a 2v Most clarion are 2v Ive found.
My amp has a switch on the gain that allows you to select the voltage of your deck, so would I really need any more than a 2v preout

In that case, I guess it wouldn't make a big difference, but from reading around, I've found that more people say , the higher the voltage, the less engine noise/static, etc.. you just get a higher quality signal.
Ex. Its easy to make a good signal sound good, but its hardER to make a shitty signal and boost it up to its real quality, thus sounding shitty when boosted.
Thats what i'm guessing. could be wrong
Or, take it like a high quality picture, its nice and clear on high res, but when you shrink it in paint, and try to resize it (2v -gained higher on amp) it just looks depixilated.. distorted slightly.. meh , dunno lol
