So I finally have my stereo where I want it, at least for now. I wanted to ask opinions on something I don't see much discussion about. I had to use my stock HU to keep Sync, climate control, steering wheel functions and keeping investment under control.
HU- seems to sound the worst. I know it is older with no HD function but it seems stations at least around here pump up bass and cut some highs or maybe I just don't get peak signal. Some stations do sound better than others. Remember, this is MY HU..
Bluetooth- If I IHeart the same station, it seems like a much flatter signal and better separation and sounds MUCH better than over air
USB- This seems by far the best so far but it depends on how the music was recorded. The few I have so far were converted from utube through clipconverter
AUX- I'm an old guy..don't have an ipod or a bunch of tunes on my phone
CD- I need to load it and try it. So far I have only played the Fix-82 calibration CD and the grandkids rocking out to 'Wheels on the bus go round and round..'
Sirius- Actually, this sounds the worst. At least with the HU and a radio station you have the unknown factor, kinda like when all of a sudden your signal goes HD..
So what is the preferred input method you guys with more time in prefer? Garbage in is garbage out..
