audio1der Posted May 5, 2011 Report Posted May 5, 2011 I use my BB to feed my headunit media, and it SUCKS for SQ. CDs sound absolutely stunning and crystal clear, while the best media I've played through my BB sound OK. Most sound terrible. I don't want to go the Apple route- what's left??? Thanks guys. Just LOVE this place.

Robert8252 Posted May 5, 2011 Report Posted May 5, 2011 The apple route sucks. Not sure why but quality sucks through iPod/ iPhone even if good quality on iTunes. I use a SD card or USB with the music in good quality for best results or buy CDs. Quote 2013 F150 Crew Cab Old Build Log Feedback 2013 F150 Equipment - Some Awesome Stereo Sound Making Stuff
Skullz Posted May 5, 2011 Report Posted May 5, 2011 USB drives flash and external hd's in either mp3 for music and mp4 for video if you have a monitor hooked up, i can't speak on the mp4 but for mp3 i use 320mb quality. Quote 01 Ford focus ZX3 Pioneer AVH-X491BHS PPI PC 4800.2 Morel Maximo 6.5" x2
skittlesRgood Posted May 5, 2011 Report Posted May 5, 2011 if you go through your BB you are using it's processing and feeding that information to the HU. so it wont matter how good the file is. using an ipod as a hard drive, or just an external hard drive, works great. if you use a 3.5mm jack or bluetooth you will have reduced quality because you will rely on the capabilities of a lesser unit.

sqsux Posted May 6, 2011 Report Posted May 6, 2011 and mp3 sucks anyway flac is a good way to download stuff. I thought most headunits couldn't play flac and other lossless files? Quote Start out boxy, shape as you move along. Dc Audio Team Fur

korey_hofer Posted May 6, 2011 Report Posted May 6, 2011 the only way to get alright quality out of an ipod/iphone is to use it as a harddrive. even then still not great Quote previously known as wenn_du_weinst aka fucking internet coward supreme.

Agreed I play through the USB function on my Kenwood (which lets me control through my iPhone 4) and I mainly download in WAV (which is lossless and most portable music players and head units support it) WAV and FLAC are the same thing, fyi. Both are lossless formats which can convert to each other with no degrading of the file. Quote
