Summary: I've always been a Pioneer guy until now. The Kdc-x692 just sounds better than the Premier deh-p500ub/p600ub. Pioneer Premier uses 1 bit dac's and Kenwood Excelon uses 24 bit just like Alpine. It does make a difference in cd sound quality. The Excelons also have better cross-overs. They both have HP and LP but the Excelon allows you to set different points for your front speakers vs. rear speakers. Don't get me wrong this head unit has some draw backs to it. The dot matrix display can be difficult to read and can be too bright at night time, but for me was negligable because I didn't buy it for display quality I bought it for sound quality. The toggle knob on the right will either make scrolling through your menus easier or irritate you when you push it straight in and instead it skips to the next track. Bottom line, take it from a Pioneer guy, this unit may not be as aesthetically pleasing as the Pioneer Premiers but the sound quality and tuning features are better. If you disagree than do what I did and go listen to them on the same speakers. You will hear the difference.
