The Sony XPLOD CDX-GT920U is one of the company’s high-end products and is a part of the single DIN range. The inordinately beautiful gadget may divert your attention straight away, but it is in no way a hindrance as it more than complements its look with an equally impressive performance. Moreover, there are an abundance of contemporary features that are carefully designed to allow you an unabated access to them.

The most significant and attractive part of the device are its digital audio features and the “Quick BrowZer” mode that transforms navigation of digital audio folders a walk in the park. The unrestrained support for disc formats such as MP3, WMA, and AAC burned to CD or stored on a USB-compatible device means that you can indulge in it like never before. Really the only thing the unit is missing is the ability to play DVDs like the Sony MEX-DV 1000. Then, there is good news for iPod owners in that the device has on-board an aux input on the faceplate, especially since the CDX-GT920U by default doesn’t natively support the iPod’s proprietary file system.

You will find few faults with the unit when it comes to sound processing, as it has sufficient arsenal in it that optimally enhances the sound quality. Prominent among the various innovative features include a three-band EQ with seven presets, and more importantly a Digital Music Plus (DM+) functionality that elevates the sound quality of digitally compressed sound, such as MP3 to the next level. Moreover, the Dynamic Soundstage Organizer (DSO) further fine tunes the ambient sound and augments the sound reproduction of the speakers. It also does a great job raising the sound up from the floorboards and making the high end of the sound spectrum clearer.
