I'm curious, pople have mentioned mods to these units. Who is doing the mods and what are they doing, does anyone know?
SA-XR25 or SA-XR45 ?
The only diffs I can detect btw these models is:
DTS: 96/24 supported on XR45
"Multi-Source Re-Master Processing"
# of digital inputs (3 vs 4)
Remote control (custom vs universal)
Here are Panasonic's links to both:
http://catalog2.panasonic.com/webapp/wcs/stores/servlet/ModelDetail?displayTab=F&storeId=11251&catalogId=11005&itemId=63386&catGroupId=11135&modelNo=SA-XR25&surfModel=SA-XR25]XR25
http://catalog2.panasonic.com/webapp/wcs/stores/servlet/ModelDetail?displayTab=F&storeId=11251&catalogId=11005&itemId=63385&catGroupId=11135&modelNo=SA-XR45S&surfModel=SA-XR45S]XR45
I found the XR25 for around $220 (vs around $290 for the XR45).
My main interest is stereo MP3 playback (*not* movies or 5.1).
Why should I pay more for the XR45 ?
Will this "Multi-Source Re-Master Processing" feature make a significant diff for MP3s ?
Thanks !

Thanks so much for all the astute advice :-). Here's a great eval/comparison of the two: http://java.audioasylum.com/cgi/m.pl?forum=amp&n=31470&highlight=Multi-Source+Re-Master+Processing+panasonic&r=&session. btw, I'm going for the 45 or the 70. |
