Lightening port on apple products

have you done back to back comparisons with a c.d.? ive always wondered this any idea what the transfer rate is? and the sound quality via blue tooth probably varies strongly depending on the head unit im guesing

It depends on the quality of the file being played.
I play 320kbps thru my iPhone/iPod via USB cable. Lightning should be the same.

Same as CD

^^^This. Lightning is only the connector used on the iPhone, it's still via a USB interface. I am not using bluetooth, and would only ever use that for audio as a last resort. Although I guess I don't know what the transfer speeds/throughputs of bluetooth really are. Never really cared. It would be good to look into if you planned on using that.

Yeah, but to what? Why would it compress the signal if the throughput was high enough?
