[QUOTE="Bun-Bun, post: 4766670, member: 584852"] After extensive testing with my 5g ipod and my Alpine 9887 HU... I can not tell any difference between my Ipod and CD's. Check your connections and your settings (reset your Ipod maybe) or buy a new one... Please refrain from spreading lies. 5G ipods and newer have high quality DAC's (probably better then your current HU) and sound much better then Creative's lineup. This is assuming your using a deck that connects to the line out. If you using headphone jack to your stereo then thats your first problem... And again with the lies... MP3's when encoded properly are just as good as CD's (at least to the human here tested with extensive statistical analysis from some of the most stern audiophiles out there). Please educate yourself before trying to give advice. Thank you. yes and lossless is not required. EDIT: Also head over to hydrogenaudio.org and learn how to properly rip and encode MP3's... VBR with joint stereo is better then 320kb/s encodes (and no different then lossless) I also read that the OP solved the problem... GREAT!
