Thought I would cross post this due to the interest in car audio.

Have had Sinfoni amps and Morel speakers hooked up to the original car head unit line out for a year now. Sound has been good, but I really wanted a digital feed from the head unit. Once the 'Google NAV' option became a viable retrofit for me I started to research in earnest. It appeared that there were a few units which supported the MOST integration up to MMI2G, but not many options for the 3G units and upwards. After some research and looking around I opted for the Audison DA1 (to integrate into the MOST ring) and the Bit One to handle my optical input and processing.



I can happily report that (after some fun and games with updating software, firmware and config files) these integrate successfully with the 3G+ systems. 2G compatibility has always been claimed, but the info on the 3G compatability has been conflicting on occasions.



So current setup is:

Audi Multimedia head unit (MMI3G+) >> Audison DA1 >> Audison Bit One >> 3 x Sinfoni Grave amps >> Morel Elate Limited Edition 2-way speakers (front and rear) + a Morel sub installed in passenger foootwell.

There are some more shots of the car and initial install photos in my build thread (click signature for it). I'll be posting how I get on with the DSP software as I get accustomed to it in the build thread and may post some more audio specific stuff in here.



Oh, and the important question - how does it sound.

Let's just say

Oh and one thing I forgot. I have for ages been looking for the holy grail for me - being able to play FLAC files in car. Well, the Audison rep has told me the Bit Play HD unit should be available come September - I think this be hooked up as a multimedia device in the MOST chain (like a TV tuner) so that you get the on screen control of track selection and album art, etc., but the signal feed to the DA1/Bit One setup is sent via a separate optical cable. This unit will support FLAC playback - so come September I'll look to get one of those.
