I bought the DVA-9860 for the DVD-MP3 ability and I'm very disappointed with the delay.
So I bought an iPod 20GB from a buddy and I'm looking for a good HU which integrates nicely with the iPod. I'd LOVE to have the Clarion VRX755VD, but it's just a bit outside of my price range. I want to stay within the $350-$500 range. I saw the VRX755VD once on ebay for $599 new from a reputable seller. I can kick myself for not buying it! Instead I wasted $450 on the 9860! =(
My biggest concern is ease of use and little delay...and of course SQ.
I'm losing faith in Alpine...I really am. They seem to just through out nice looking junk these days.
