[QUOTE="brad1011a, post: 2788839, member: 575111"] Well the issue there is to find a HU that supports FLAC. So far I haven't seen any, and the best quality via USB I've seen is the upcoming Alpine which supports iTunes Lossless. The Kenwoods support WAV's, but the models so far don't allow WAV via USB. Otherwise it's 320Kbps MP3's. This point is a bit moot for a car stereo system though. To hear the difference between a 256Kbps MP3 and the original CD you'd need to be listening in a silent, 'dead' environment with very expensive speakers. With all their windows cars are very 'live', and far from silent. But to use FLAC or OGG for now you'd have to have a car PC. [/QUOTE]
