[QUOTE="zSnb, post: 2850029, member: 569384"] I agree with alot of what you said but the quality difference between 256-320kbps mp3 and CD is barely noticeable unless you are trying really hard. I have ripped copies of CD's i bought, burnt them as mp3 discs and the quailty is not different at all. Decks that have good SQ are all over the place now days. You can argue all you like about how the Nak or the Denon head units have better SQ but how come nobody can explain how their SQ is any better? The only answer I ever hear on this forum is "The Nak is made out of really high quality parts." It has barely any features, a DAC that is no better than the ones on Pioneer/Eclipse, a S/N ratio that isnt on par with Pioneer/Eclipse, and a really weak EQ.....for $600. But all that aside. I too have a hard time understanding how people spend thousands on systems that are loud as all hell and not musical at all. I consider myself to be part of the "younger" crowd of enthusiasts. I have a few friends who seem to think the whole point of after market systems is to make something that can be heard from miles away. [/QUOTE]
