May 5, 200817 yr I'm sure there are other differences, however, they're minuscule enough for me to not go and look for them.
May 5, 200817 yr Actually a fair number of differences:24 bit Burr-brown D/A'sCopper Chassis USB supportBluetoothSeems to be a lot for $50, plus the 880 is gone now the 800 is the replacement.

May 5, 200817 yr My hangover got the best of me...can't believe I put the D/A on the list. I didn't think the 880 had USB support and if I am not too confused even when re-looking now I don't see that the 880 does support USB.

I didn't think the 880 had USB support and if I am not too confused even when re-looking now I don't see that the 880 does support USB.Hehe, . The tricky thing is its a pioneer = add on boxes galore and I dont think they are going to update (reprint manuals) every spot of information for outdated headunits (880) and new ones. The usb for the 800 is a add on box that im fairly positive will work with the 880 as well. The manual for the adapter even states the 880 as a head unit group 2 for controllability but no mention of the 800 anywhere?? The only difference between the units that you can seen would be copper chassis and different face plate. I suppose they could have updated some firmware but i think thats unlikely.manual for USB adapter http://www.pioneerelectronics.com/pio/pe/i...sManual1129.pdf Edited May 5, 200817 yr by bromo
May 5, 200817 yr Hopefully they fixed the issues with the faceplate going out for a second when you try to push a button
May 6, 200817 yr Hopefully they fixed the issues with the faceplate going out for a second when you try to push a buttonFunny as that it only happened to mine once, although multiple times that once. I took off the faceplate and put it back on and it hasn't re-occured.
May 8, 200817 yr Hopefully they fixed the issues with the faceplate going out for a second when you try to push a buttonI have not had that problem with mine. Ive had it for about 2 years too.880 is better Im confused by this. Have you not read the thread?? They are pretty much the same unit, if anything the 800 might have a slight edge for the copper chassis to eliminate what little noise the regular chassis wont.
February 10, 201114 yr I now own both units so I will post a review on both soon. Sorry for digging up an old thread, just Googled 880PRS. lol
February 14, 201114 yr I have the 880. So far works great. No faceplate issues.Most peope think its just an old deck.
