Acura's had the Elliot Scheiner (collaborated) Panasonic 5.1 DVD-Audio player with surround sound (5.1) capability. I bought my car in 2009 and DVD-Audio's soon after became obsolete. They weren't around for a long time, but I managed to get most of the popular (rock) out-of-print titles through Ebay and other similar venues. The DVD player also played DTS 5.1 format. To this day, the DVD-Audio of Hotel California and Rumors (96 khz/24 bit) in my car sounds better than my two channel analog system - it's that good (the enclosed space in the car obviously helps, but nonetheless the sound is magnificent).
Do you care about car audio?
I like nice cars and I appreciate the fact that I've been fortunate enough to lease and drive some very nice ones. I would never drive a luxury car out of warranty, but that's not my point. My point is, as much as I love audio, I never really had any urge to upgrade my car audio system. Whatever came with the car was totally satisfactory to me. Right now, my car came with a somewhat upgraded Meridian stereo, but it is not the full-blown surround/subwoofer deal. It sounds fine and I've never wanted more than a standard decent car radio had to offer.
Do you people have any enthusiasm for upgraded car audio as opposed to stock? Then again, truth be told, I've never listened to the fancy car setups and I might be tempted if I thought it was that much more enjoyable. Who knows.
