This question is for someone familliar with a range of alpine head units. What head unit sounds better the older CDA-9815 or the newer CDA-9831? I also own a CDA-7995 and I think it sounds better than both players. I also prefer the 9815 over the 9831 soundwise. Any input would be appreciated.

I think the older alpine units sound better. I like the pure sound of my 7903. I'm not into all the new HU with the sound processing features. I guess I'm stuck on old skool car audio.

There is a world of difference between an Alpine with just a number for the model number, be it a 5 (IIRC) or 7 series and any Alpine with a alphanumeric model number. Don't confuse any alphanumeric modeled Alpine with the words old skool as that is not even close to a proper realization of what old skool Alpine truly was.

The 9861 is a bit of a comeback with the 24 bit DAC and 4 volt outs, but as Rob said it's not even close. I think after the 7840 series, it was all down hill from there.
