Sony's CDX-444RF has a 1-bit D/A Converter - it is a type of digital to analog converter whose output is restricted to only two values. Unlike a multi-bit D/A in which each bit possesses its own corresponding output voltage; a 1-bit D/A s output voltage is expressed by means of the time axis; i.e. PWM or PDM. 8x oversampling feature is a digital filter which calculates 7 additional samples between those taken from the disc, which provides a closer representation of the original analog signal; and therefore better sound quality. CD Text Disc Name Display is a compact disc and player feature utilizing disc name information encoded directly on the CD media. Both playback and media components must have CD Text compatibility. CDX-444RF is CD-R compatible - it enables the CD player to play back recordable CDs. Fast Change 10-Disc Mechanism provides superior speed when accessing discs. Super Suspension Shock Isolation system employs silicon filled shock absorbers for increased performance during periods of movement. It also features a Compact Cabinet with Sliding Door. This Small exterior design offers additional mounting options over those products with larger designs. Sliding door mechanisms also allow for mounting in many areas where a hinged door would impede the access of the disc cavity.
Advantages: Great Design, Easy to use, good sound quality Disadvantages: usb socket flap looks a bit flimbsy
...Good All-round head unit, Quick Install and Good Sound Quality
My Lust for all things Sony continued when I had to replace my old SonyCDX-MP40 head unit. The old unit was exceptional and had lasted me 4-5 years so my expectations were high and so far I haven't beed dissappointed but I guess only another 5 years will show whether sonys have improved.
But what I can say is as follows:
Sound Quality - very good, stereo output is very crisp and the choice of equaliser options is better. Bass sounds better too and doesn't distort even at louder volumes. I found the chemical brothers best hits were a good test for this.
Features are excellent and include MP3, CD, Radio, USB and Aux input for your ipod, flash drive or a good tip is to get one of those mini usb hard drives which you can copy hundreds of tracks onto.
One other...

...Excellent All-round Head Unit
I bought this Sony head unit for my partner exactly 1 year ago as a christmas present and I can only say that I made an excellent choice.
I bought this model because I had already bought a sony for myself a few years earlier and it had lasted me a long time with no major problems.
This model looks great in her Fiat dash board and I'm sure the stylish silver finish would look good in most other modern cars.
The Sound quality is excellent, even at loud volumes where the top notes and the bass remains clear. You also have a selection of equaliser options to choose from.
The choice of functions is good to and if you can use either the radio - FM/MW and LW or CD. There is also a usb input which can be used to play music directly from a usb stick. Alternatively you hav an aux input at the front...

...SonyCDX-M 850 MP car radio/cd player
i'm on my third one of these due to my previous systems being stolen.
which is not great as these still hold there price which is not that cheap.but you do get your moneys worth.
the radio tuner as rds which is great for finding the stations.but i mainly use the cd player so can't really say much about the radio funtions.but you can preset your favourite radios stations which is handy so you don't have to search for stations all the time.you have three bands which are fm, mw and lw.
the cd player plays one cd at a time. it plays copys which is great so you don't wreck your best cds in the car as you always end up with your cds being wrecked.it as cd text display so you know what you are listening to.
you have the cd changer control funtion so you can add a cd changer.
the sound is...
