Have you installed SACD/DVD-Audio player?, high resolution audio in your car. Options

hey ya'll,

i'm pretty sure someone already has 5.1 surround in their celica. it requires some cutting in front center dash.

now, here's the interesting part. there is a home deck player by Pioneer (DV-588-A). i know it's not made for the car, but it's pretty small. i'm not that mechnical myself, but i would like to see someone here or elsewhere modify their car to convert a home deck into mobile. why would somen be crazy enough to do this? SACD&DVD-Audio MLP. so far, Sony hasn't licensed SACD playback for the car yet. DVD-Audio MLP is available but only @$1,000+ for a headunit. DV-588 costs only $130 over internet. plus, it plays MP3s, divx, etc. the problem is that celicas are small. plus, if there are existing carputers, it might pose as a space issue. just giving this idea to someone who has the will&know how to do it.

oh, BTW, since the home deck doesn't have the buffer memory, some sort of shock absorber has to be made to make it feasible.

5.1, 7.1 and everything else is merely trying to replicate the sound of "True Stereo"

This is accomplished with only 2 well placed speakers and a sub. SACD and DVDA both sound amazing with this setup.

A friend of mine is a serious audiophile and has a small listening room in his house.... It takes a good ammount of money and some serious dedication to set it all up, but its worth it. I was skeptical until he played some Jazz in SACD for me... i tell you.. it sounded like i was sitting on the stage with the musicians.
Just to give you an idea of the price for something like this.. He went a lower end route and still spent over $700 just for speaker wire.

Most audio you find will not be recorded in any of the simulated stereo formats (5.1, 7.1 etc..)

Kind of rambling now... but i think I had a point to make somewhere in here.. :-)
