Hi all,
Several of us have been using a digital media player as out main source - using a hard drive up to 500gb and lossless bit perfect files through a digital output and relegating our CD players to second fiddle (I have three cd's in the car atm and rarely listen to them). By connecting the digital out stright into our: Clarion DRZ - Alpine H701 - Bit One (or anything else with a foolable digital input) we have gotten a very clean signal that honestly seems at least on par with and possible cleaner than CD sound. Plus, you have hundreds of songs, random selection, the ability to play even hi def video and many other features right at your fingertips.
Unfortunately, the main thread was written primarily for users of the DRZ - so anyone who had another product may have simply passed it by... so I started this thread for the several of us to share our ongoing experience and to let people with different systems see whats been going on. For anyone with interest in this direction, I recommend searching the word Sarotech and my user name and you should find 3 prior posts with nearly EVERY part, its seller, how it fits and more! Anyone with reasonable audio understanding and minor electronics skills should be able to make this happen!
Here are some other places to look:

Please please check the other posts prior to asking a general question... they are 4 pages at most and really do explain most everything that you will need.
You will need a monitor of some sort - people have used everything from $75 visor mounted monitors to double din - indash monitors... but you may be surprised at how nice it is to be able to watch a movie or an episode of southpark over lunch in your ride from time to time.
