[QUOTE="whitedragon551, post: 7103796, member: 608181"] First of all lots of miss information here. Not all MP3's are encoded properly. Some are, some arent. Make sure your source is legit. Second the human ear can detect changes from anything 224kbps and under. Make sure your MP3's are atleast 224kbps or better. Third your HU may bypass the Zune's DAC, it may not. Depends on the HU. Chances are it doesnt. In order to combat that make sure you turn off the Zune's EQ. Im not familar with Zune or the software you use to put music on it. With iTunes there are settings for level equalization for each song, fade settings, etc. Make sure all of those are off or set to neutral so it doesnt color the music.
