I still haven't gotten around to disconnecting the DPS box, but there is one overall thing that keeps bugging me: flexibility. As much as I want to recommend this gadget, I can't help but thinking that a $50 head unit with 4-5 preset EQ settings--or even a $100 10-band EQ box--would be a more flexible alternative.
The overall sound quality does seem to be good (when stationary) but the road noise of the Yaris really kills the details that you would otherwise hear when parked. So for now, my recommendation is as follows: - If you want the ability to tweak the EQ to suit different recordings, or don't have $400+ to spend on it, buy an aftermarket head unit or EQ. - If you want to keep the OEM look for aesthetics/security purposes and don't mind the lack of flexibility (or you only listen to one radio station or album) and have the money to spend, then by all means, go for it. Oh, and then there's speakers. I haven't done anything with mine yet, but may swap them out in the next few weeks. That could be another huge game changer since the OE ones are craptastic. |
