Anyone who has owned an aftermarket Head Unit(HU) can tell you that there is a definitive amount of quality between lower price and upper price HU's. Being an audiophile, i have heard and owned many, many HU's. My last HU was a Pioneer DEH-P8600MP. Pioneer's top quality HU next to the 9600 at the time it came out. After purchasing this Alpine CDA-117, i had very high expectations with which i was going to compare this HU to. First of all they both use 24bit Burr-Brown Digital-to-Analong Converters (24bit DACs) so you get the most information from the CD player, or ipod to the speakers as possible. Secondly, a feature i wish my Pioneer HU had, is the ability to defeat, or cancel, the CDA-117's internal MOSFET Amplifiers, and send the signal directly from the CD or ipod to the external amplifier (if your using one) and then to the speakers. This allows you to crank the volume considerably with less signal distortion on the beaten path(from the source to the...

First, the bad, because I found a lot. I'm finding my purchase of this head unit CDA-117 to be a fairly disappointing experience. It sounds great, but it's the most frustratingly difficult and distracting interface I can imagine possible. How Alpine came to develop this to be so insanely counter-intuitive escapes me. There are many serious flaws with this player, in terms of safety and distraction during driving. Do not even attempt searching for a song while driving. It's impossible. Then on top of that, the previous/next buttons are the same shape and size as half the other buttons. If I see the phrase "BANKING" while it's scanning USB one more time, I'm gonna flip out. seriously, why can't you just navigate folder directory!?!?!?! As a software developer and user experience consultant, I'm absolutely amazed at how terrible this experience has been. 1). Volume/Mute completely unavailable when "BANKING" appears, forcing you to escape...

This HU is about the best you can buy especially given the price range. It has the Brown-Burr decoder which is the cats meow in terms of reading information and sending the right signals to the amp/speakers so they can reproduce them. It will pull details out of CD's that you probably never heard before AND you will hear beats and sounds in pristine detail. I was coming from an old Eclipse deck (before they sold out) which had a brown burr decoder and 8volt preouts. It was my favorite of all time deck but this Alpine is better. Granted the preouts are not as hefty but I feel that 4volts can get the job done if you are connecting an external amp. What is awesome about the Alpine is the immediate interface to connect your IPOD and control it from the scrolling main knob. Most of your tasks can be accomplished by simply scrolling the one center knob and pushing it as a button. Very cool in traffic and what not to whizz through your playlists. The BIO lite display is actually really cool...

Difference Between Alpine CDA 9886 and 9884 CD Head Units?
Mar 06, 2008 by Unsaturated15I was wondering what are the differences between the Alpine CDA 9986 and 9884 head units CD (in addition to the difference of $ 100 price). The only difference I could see the display BioLite 9886, but nothing else seemed to cause the $ 100 difference in price between the two. I must have missed something. Ideas?
So it's just a question of noise?
So it's just a question of noise?
A few things, 9884 has 2 voltage pre-out volts while 9886 has 4 volt. A remote none for 9886 with 84. USB input on the void 86 of the 84. The screen 86 has Biolite. Other than the aesthetic things like animations based on the 86. Everything seems almost identical.
- To the ordinary ear, no difference at all ...... you must invite experts and audio capabilities differential to tell. At 90% of the population, there is absolutely no difference.
What is the diffrence in the alpine cda 9886 and cda 9887 cd player? Which is the best?
Apr 02, 2009 by Chance WI heard that u have to have a certain piece for the cda 9887 to make the quality good, but in the cda 9886 u dont
If your referring sound processing the 9887 has one thing over the 9886. The sound shaping tool in the 87 is more dynamic and overall increase in quality as opposed to just an increase in bass on the 86. Also the 87 has 4 button colors to choose from and the 86 has one. Not really a selling point but a plus. The 87 is $100 more on Crutchfield so its significantly more. The 86 has built in iPod where as the 87 doesn't. The 87 has no USB where as the 86 does. All in all Looking at the specs, I would get the 9886 because it is $100 cheaper and you don't loose much in fact you get iPod connectivity where as you dont with the 87. The EQ advancement is not necessarily worth it especially if you using external amps with your speakers and subs. In that situation a external EQ would provide the best quality.
