With that being said, you've just ruined countless hours of searching for answers and brought up a few more questions  
What to do in a Logic 7 system, then? The DA2 seems like the second best option to HU recoding for those who want to delete their amp (thanks Technic!). Initially my plan was to do HU > DA2 > MS-8 > (2) amps. If I remove the MS-8 from that plan, I'm understanding from your post that I could also do HU > DA2 > (2) amps. But wouldn't I be missing a lot by not having a DSP (granted the DA2 allows you to keep an EQ, but I understand it's limited, and as far as I've read it doesn't do all the other nice things you've listed)?
If so, which DSP(s) would you guys advise to use in this particular setup in place of the MS-8?
As you can see my knowledge on car audio is still relatively limited, so I was actually looking forward to the ease of use of the MS-8 (autotune...).
On another topic, you're doing an excellent job kaigoss, thanks a lot. The table is very clear, this is exactly what I would have needed a couple of weeks ago. There are tons of discussions/information scattered everywhere, it's extremely hard to know which steps to follow unless you already know what you're doing. So this is very helpful. |
If I owned an audio shop, I would NEVER sell the MS-8. Like VP said, too many problems (problems cost money). However, in my personal car I would definitely have an MS-8.
You have to weigh the pros vs. the cons. To me, the pros FAR outweigh the cons, and mind you, I am on my third unit and when I get a phone call, I use the iPhone's speaker instead of BT. Would I install another one if this one broke and I had to pay for it? - You betcha!
