Any ideas as to when Alpine is replacing this unit, they currently offer the H650 however that is meant for factory integration and I realy want something that will connect/operate diectly with one of thier optical based H/U & DVD Changers.

The H701 is a decent unit however its using last generation DAC's (BB 16xx instead of 17xx as used in the Pioneer RS/ODR systems), it is still plagued with volume control/noise issues etc... and I dont wona risk getting one of ebay.

I'm pretty sure they haven't released any information about anything that would replace the h701.

you could get the h900 - I don't think it has any of those issues.

Your other options would be:

BitOne (not easy to find, and currently working out issues)

RF 360 - (2 of them if you need 4-way)

Alpine H900 (no noise issues like the h701, but dang its expensive)

Zapco DSP6 (2 if you need 4-way)

i dont get any noise thru my h701, you could most likely swap tha DACs if they are the same form, dont know how much that would help anyways

This is true. People have modded them to change out the DACs before.

I PM'ed a member about those changes, but never received a reply back. Curious as to how much it would help?
