[QUOTE="Jeffdachef, post: 8669102, member: 650438"] the 80 prs's amp surprisingly gets pretty loud and clear i'd say it'll be an upgrade over your 2000mp for sure. Mainly because the dac from the 80 prs is a lot nicer. You also want to skip the aux cord completely when the 80 prs comes in, aux is processed by your phone's audio and your phone has a built in EQ curve/sound signature which may or may not fk up the sound along with your phone might clip the audio signal as well. Best to convert your audio to wav format and throw them on a USB. The 80 prs doesnt support higher bitrate flac. I'd also trust bluetooth over aux because its a digital signal using the head unit's DAC vs your phone's dac. granted the 80 prs is only bluetooth 3.0 but its still better than aux IMO. I've made my older setups smell clipping from aux even when its not as loud as bluetooth or USB back then so i really do not trust it at all.
