I have a CDA-9813.
fantastic for MP3.
very fast loading, and great options for things like folder or disc mix for random play, etc.
the folder handling is very well done.

the CDA-9811 is cheaper but lacks some features.
the CDA-9813 has the Vdrive internal amp which is loud and clean, for a head unit.
if you plan to use all external amps though, look at the CDA-9815, which is their top model of that line of units..
has more complex features but no Vdrive amp.

the stats I saw were stated incorrectly on the retail site when I looked a while ago.
