Re: Alpine PXE-08505s feedback
Glad you figured it out! I'll remember this when I install mine. Thanks!

One other thing to watch for when you're tuning- the output of the head unit doesn't match the Fiio (I suspect it won't match a cell phone either). That just means we need to adjust the gains for the bt device as well as the head unit in the mixer section of the dsp software. I tried using the same gain settings for the high level input and bt they're not close.

Re: Alpine PXE-08505s feedback
Well, have the unit installed. I notice there is a difference in output when running through the controller versus the blue-tooth/smartphone application. The controller volume goes up to 66 but only 60 in the app. Really strange. Once I close the app, it will say 60 as max volume on the controller, from which I can then turn back up to 66. Odd...
Another oddity is when hooked via blue-tooth, if you're not careful, the volume will come through at max volume and can only be adjusted through the app or the controller if the app isn't opened. Adjusting the volume on the OEM source WILL NOT decrease the volume. This scared the heck out of me the other day when my phone began playing a song via PowerAmp.
Also, it would be nice to have the ability to EQ on the input side, not just the output.
Overall, the unit is pretty solid and I'm having no problems understanding how to control everything through both the blue-tooth application and PC software.

UPDATE!
Been using the PXE-0850S for about 9 months now. I can honestly say the thing works! I've had no issues running either digital (toslink) or aux (RCAs). The unit is easy to adjust on the fly using the Android app, connects to bluetooth quickly, and doesn't have any issues with noise!
Whoever is on the fence, this is a good DSP. It does lack some of the features like input EQ and variable phase (only 180 or normal), center and rear processing, that the Helix devices have, but for the money, it's a good way to enter into the world of DSP tuning!
I will say this, the onboard power is not that strong and should only be used with stock speakers or efficient tweeters. That being said, I like my purchase!

Re: Alpine PXE-08505s feedback
there should be enough channels to loop an output to an input, effectively giving you "input" eq
however this only works for analog interfaces.
