[QUOTE="los33, post: 8428650, member: 660834"] AUX is a good source, but phones and mp3 players raise the gain by adding there own power. Bluetooth raises the gain also when streaming, doesnt matter if its pandora or downloaded mp3s. The cleanest source possible is usb as the headunit uses its own codecs and purifies the mp3 which means it plays, but will not add any gain or raise the volume past its true encoded volume. As far as sound quality you will not notice a difference between 192kbps, 128kbps, or 320kbps. Phones/players degrade quality and headunits purify the song files to 192kbps stereo no matter what to keep the limited cache lower. Only a true headunit with flac support will play pure studio recording sound. Just make sure all songs have been remastered to remove all clipping. Like i said all mp3s not remastered will have clipping and distortion. Flac and wma are true lossless or near lossless formats. Sent from my draconis using Tapatalk [/QUOTE]
