Well, I was able to find a 945 deck, and a 755 deck, but no 745. None of the "lower end" units specify the type of DAC used, but I would expect, if not a Burr Brown or National, probably a Crystal. Inexpensive, mass-market stuff, but Crystal DOES have some very good DAC chips available...

It all reminds me of something that Molière once said to Guy de Maupassant at a café in Vienna: "That's nice. You should write it down."

Again, same answer applies. They are not specified, so I expect (or suspect) a "lower-end" DAC.

The 745 uses a crystal DAC, at least I am 85% sure of that and I know for sure that it is NOT a Burr Brown

double-secret reverse-osmosis speaker-cone-induced high-level interference distortion, Its a killer

According to Clarion tech: The 745/755 uses a Sanyo or Toshiba part, The 945 uses a lower grade Burr-Brown, and the 9255 the higher grade Burr-Brown. ------------- 04 MDX - Clarion DRZ9255 / MB Quart QAA4250 / MB Quart QSD216 / Orion Concept 97.2 / JL Audio 10w6v2

I have a DXZ925, and from what I understand from reading on the net and having guys tell me, mine has the Burr-Brown DAC's.....not sure if that helps, but thought you'd like to know.

A clarion tech told you this? i wonder why they don't advertise the 945 as having the Burr-Brown?
