Too bad all those songs (mentioned) aren't new mixes not already out there, correct? Hot looking ride for sure!Oh My! Elliott gave them a 5.1 USB stick!

Yes, but the upside is, they can learn and perhaps be new convertsDon't get me wrong, I love that they included this feature (and it beats carrying around a binder full of burned DTS-CDs) - but people who aren't in-the-know about ripping/converting/etc have to be scratching their heads at the mention of a 5.1 USB stick.
I'm still driving a 2007 Acura TL with the Elliot Scheiner DVDA sound system thats still fun to play for people. No USB port in this car but it does have a cassette deck!
Mine has a 6 disc changer, does the new TLX's have even a CD player?
No. CD/DVD-A is now gone from most of the Acura's. The last version of the ELS system played DTS-CDs only, not DVD-A. Having the USB 5.1 is a lot more work, but in some ways less work - especially if you were making your own DVD-Audio's from SACDs, DVD's and Quad conversions. Still, it's all more work than just buying a disc and popping it in, that's for sure
Well, lucky me, I am in the know. Looking for a car in summer of 2021, How much?
Hi Jon,I think they'll start around $35K and go up to almost $50K, depending on the trim level. If they are like the RDX, the 5.1 audio will be in all models, top to bottom, although the higher models will have more power (I believe, not sure yet)
Hi Jon,
Thank you for all you do,
My understanding is that in the RDX the only models that will play 5.1 is the ELS studio, that, although the others play USB, they do not play 5.1. Have you, or anyone else, been able to play a 5.1 on a lower model?
If that is the case, I may lease an Acura for our commuter car.

99% sure only the top trim ELS has 5.1 capability. You have to buy the advanced trim to get it.
That type S won't be available with ELS available day one and will be an added package by fall 2021 I'd guess.
Not exactly. I have an A-Spec, and that has 5.1 for sure. Also, the Technology Package has 5.1 for sure. These 3 have the ELS 3D system with the extra power and speakers in the ceiling. The question remains does the lesser ELS system without the ceiling speakers and the more powerful amp do 5.1 as well.
I may just have to take a trek to the dealer some day and find out for myself.
Bummer. I will wait an extra year or two to pick up an RDX or TLX on the resale market. 30K is about my ceiling. (I know the base will be higher than that).
Same here; when I borrow my wife's 2004 TL (inheriting this year or next) I feel like a weekend millionaire (Genesis - Cinema Show reference). Work from home, maybe drive to the airport again someday; hard to justify the expenditure.I'm still driving a 2007 Acura TL with the Elliot Scheiner DVDA sound system thats still fun to play for people.
