[QUOTE="maldecido33, post: 3730129, member: 556412"] Here's how it works: Headunit will recieve music from a source, whether it be a CD, radio, DVD, iPod, etc. It then outputs this date via your RCA cables to the amplifier. The amplifer recieves this signal and, as the name suggests, amplifies the signal and outputs through your speaker wires to your speakers/subwoofers. For the purposes of this discussion, we will assume that the amplifier does not modify the signal it recieves from the mp3 player (in actuality it does modify it several different ways, but not so much as what you're thinking). Here is a sequence of events: CD/DVD/Radio/Media -------> Read by your headunit -------> Headunit sends music signal to amplifier -----> Amplifier "boosts" that music signal and sends them to your loudspeakers. Thus you can see that the headunit reads your music, so the quality of the music is primarily concerned with the quality of the decoders in your headunit. The quality at which the CD is burned also could play a factor. [/QUOTE]
