Adam, some people have taken the top Denon Z1 transport as they prefer the sound vs. 7990 and used the PXA-H900 as the processor with it. [/QB]
I was wondering how you would go about connecting the Z1 to the H900? This is an interesting option to me since I have a Z1 and am presently using all Zapco EQ's and such which present some difficulty due to size and limited functionality. Plus I'm just not happy with 'em.

Does anyone on here actually own a 7990 or TLRs? Pretty exclusive pieces. Defro, nice job selling 3 F#1 systems! Cha-ching! What kind of installs and such were they?

I think that is simply becuz not too many people have even seen up close, let alone played with either a 7990 or TLRs [img]graemlins/dunno.gif[/img]

the h900 can be used with any source that has optical out, as it has its own controller and display, we put a set in an f350, a set in an integra ,and used the cd player by itself in another, and used the processor exclusively in another, i actually have a client, the one with the f350 who wants me to build him a home theater utilizing the h900, oh an i am considering removing tha ivad900 and pxah700 from my neon and using the new f#1 gear, but we'll see

I have never owned either product. I'm not that fortunate [img]graemlins/cry.gif[/img]
I have heard the F1 and can say this. I actually have heard two cars with the F1 system in them and they sounded awful. One was the S500 or S600 Benz in the Alpine booth at CES and another was a BMW 5 series at Dark Knights. Only point is this, you can make the best gear sound like shiat if you don't know what you're doing. But evberyone knew that already. I've actually yet to hear an F1 system that is impressive to listen to. I bet they are out there, but I haven't heard one yet.
The Alpine pieces are top notch from what I understand though. If money is not in the equation, then the F1 is the way to go.
TLR's, talk to Anthony Davis on Car Sound. I believe he uses them in his Ford Contour and they are A-pillar mounted too
