You need a CDA-7949 connected to a PXA-H600 phase processor by fiber optic cable. Like me.

Time correction is the only way to get audiophile quality sound in an integra.

I don't know what stuff you just just dloaded or what your friends is smoking but WMA files have the same quality of a comparable mp3 at half the size. My bro has a cd full of em and he can fit just about twice as many songs as a regular mp3 disk. Only problem with wma is that its a little harder to find them on the internet and they don't use id tags. Go to http://www.mediatwins.com/FAQ/wma.htm
if you don't believe me.

Why do you say that? Looking at the specs, it seems like the 9813 edges it out by just a little.
