Reviews of the Alpine CDE 102
-
CNET Review
The Good: The Alpine CDE-102 offers MP3/AAC/WMA playback via CD and USB port. Percentage search makes browsing large libraries a snap.
The Bad: There aren't enough preamp outputs to make this a serious starting point for system building. iPod and Bluetooth integration require additional equipment.
The Bottom Line: The Alpine CDE-102 is an excellent OEM replacement stereo, but serious audiophiles and system builders should look further up the product lineup.
Manufacturer: Alpine Electronics, Inc.
Part number: CDE-102
