I bought a new Excelon head unit because it will play lossless compression WAV files from a USB thumb drive. Uncompressed WAV files are as good as CD files and I can put my entire old CD collection on one thumb drive. But sometimes when I put a thumb drive in I get "NA FILES" and no audio. Does...

I am discovering that it is so but I'm thinking it will be a real process to find what I am looking for. But I am also discovering that I can load wav files to my s6 and control the s6 from so HU which is just as good. My s6 has 128gb.

Oh well. I'm really set on HD radio. I'm not overly concerned with going much better than the 24 bit DAC I already have; not for the car anyway. I'm going to have to keep hunting. I am pleased to know I can play WAV files from a thumb drive. Thanks for that news.

I am so glad to hear that. I have a real soft spot for Pioneer from my youth. I'm thrilled actually. I just went through the spec sheet. Absolutely great looking numbers. Does Pioneer have an equivalent with HD Radio? And do you know how far down the radio presets are buried? I live in the...

Hmmm. This looks worth investigation. As I mentioned above, I only surface when I need to be refreshed on what's happened in recent years. In the 80's I liked Pioneer but they sank for a little while. It looks like they have come back with a vengeance. True? I'd really like to think that it is...

I've been installing car audio since 1974 but I only surface every few years when I'm ready to update my system or a friends. Right now I'm obsessed with the idea that processers have come along well enough and storage space is cheep enough that its time for me to trash MP3 and wma files in...

of which none are DSP or did I miss the point?

Yeah, DSP has come a long way but in reality, does anything really have road noise correction?

Although road noise makes things that you are only going to get a certain degree of satisfaction from a car audio system, I still wrestle with the idea of settling with computing power to force a lesser audio signal into submission. I agree they are pretty fantastic today but I'd still like to...

Greetings Cincy, I have been installing aftermarket audio in my vehicles since Craig Powerplay in the mid 70s but have just now started pursuing the same questions you are asking. I'm not sure I have an answer yet but will share where I'm at. Most of us older guys know that easy file transfer...
