The iDA-X001 uses iPod’s USB connection not only for fast music access, but it also receives pure digital music information right from the iPod and sends it through the iDA-X001’s built-in 24-Bit digital sound converter.

That’s why Alpine engineered the MediaXpander approach that makes vocals or instruments sound distinct regardless of the music source. Compressed audio formats whether it’s radio, CD or MP3, can sometimes eliminate some of the “life” from the music, but MediaXpander restores the harmonic structure across the full bandwidth, adding clarity to give your music life again.

Alpine iDA-X001 iPOD Integration System. New for 2007
Even though an almost monopolistic number of new cars come with iPod integration straight off the manufacturing line, consumers haven't relented in their search for the perfect iPod-car integration system. Based on early shots of Alpine's iDA-X001, it appears to come close to hitting this sweet spot of iPod integration. That's due in no small part to the statement that the Alpine was "designed and developed with input from Apple." Fortunately for all those iPod owners with cars out there -- we're guessing there's quite a few -- the company has started the countdown by committing to making the iDA-X001 available in February for under £300.00
The iDA-X001 has been recognized as a CES Innovations 2007 Award Honoree. Innovations Honorees are selected by a panel of judges based on the following criteria: engineering qualities, product’s intended use and function, unique and novel features and design qualities. The Innovations award program has become indicative of the best-designed products in consumer technology.
The iDA-X001 won iLounge.com’s coveted “Best of Show” award at the 2007 Macworld Conference & Expo in San Francisco, Calif.
During each year’s Expo, a team of iLounge editors closely examines new iPod-related products before deciding on the select few that are impressive enough to receive an iLounge “Best of Show” award, designed to celebrate excellence in iPod-related software, hardware and accessories. Based on the rapid growth of the iPod accessory market, at the end of the arduous judging process, the editors scrutinized hundreds of different products and felt that only 10 were fully worthy of the award. Alpine’s iDA-X001 was one of the winners of this highly coveted award this month.
