cost is $299. no video screen. you add an aftermarket screen. has optical out.

there is a review that says it is nice for dvd-audio.

i'm not up to date on al the dvd/24bit requirements though

Will have to go try one of these.  It would be a good idea to see how it handles playing entire discs.

If you don't want to play dvds and just want want the front input jack I recommend this:

I have this unit in my truck and it's great....I've had it for a year with no trouble.   The front input was a GREAT thing to have after shows!

Here's another option too. If your deck has a connector on the back for xm or a cd changer,etc. you can buy a m-bus(for my model)>rca cable for $15-$20 and just plug it into the back of the deck. I run my d8 with a mini> rca after shows and it works great. I especially like the fact that I only had to spend a few bucks and was able to keep the Alpine.
