MekedeTech DUDU7 Android Head Unit Review

[Eulipian]

More or less. I bought a few but at the end, made a combo of the parts I bought and what came with the van. I guess we got kind of lucky in the way someone had already put an aftermarket Kenwood in there so we were able to use its trim piece.

I also bought the double dins and those did not work at all. The single DIN gave us more flexibility as we didn't have to worry about the depth of the unit.

It would be great if you could give a bullet point summary of what to think about, what to avoid, and any new curse words you learned for anyone thinking about attempting this at home, Amir.

In DUDUOS 3.6E.

Can someone please explain what this changes from the earlier release? The 96Hz?

What they did basically is to remove AKM dsp headroom for EQ etc in "pass through" mode. Nothing else. So output is closer to 0dBf when file is 0dBf. I have some doubts though about quality as with UAPP I almost swear I can hear some distortions (or clipping). I have no means of testing spdif out though (no gear). Maybe @amirm could retest this mode, please?
96kHz is still up sampling of 48kHz.

@amirm or anyone i guess... if I plan on only really using android auto and streaming YouTube music from my phone(I don't have hotspot and I'm not getting a sim for the dudu) is this overkill for my needs?

I think so. If you just need those features, you can find them in any head unit.

i figured. The only thing is if i want 9" or bigger screen from a name brand is gonna cost probably the same or more and be less responsive. Maybe ill look into an android auto/carplay only device

Got a question, so if im using coaxial spdif pass thru I should be able to turn the vol/signal all the way up to tune my dsp. You said there was some noise? Should the signal range be backed off a couple dbs?
