With EQ turned off, I doubt that anyone here could hear the difference between a 150.00 Alpine and a 1000.00 Alpine providing both were using analog outputs. The difference in sound comes from using S/PDIF outputs to lower the noise floor and using better external DACs. 3 things in a system change the sound. EQ/Crossovers, Speakers, installation...Conspicuously missing are amplifiers and HUs (unless they have EQ/Crossover controls).
