But I'm not currently prepared to spend over $1000 on eBay for a used car stereo sight unseen, which is what they're going for right now.
I also looked at the Mosconi Aerospace DSP 8 to 12, but they're selling for $1500. Right now, my current setup is working perfectly fine for me. No whine, very low noise floor out of the Premier. I did notice a bit more noise at zero bits while using the Alpine as an AUX source, but I'm sure you know that the more components in your system, the more noise you'll have. It's just something that is inherent in any analog system.
One other benefit to have with a high voltage signal - your amplifiers don't have to work as hard.

I have one of those from Japan I still haven't installed into anything yet, nice to know they are still worth it, and there is a way to get bluetooth and usb functionality.
Your build is awesome and makes me happy we can still do awesome sound without touch screens.
