[QUOTE="Prowler573, post: 1452375, member: 561023"] It will depend on what makes the head unit you upgrade to "better" than the one it replaces. It may have a better signal-to-noise ratio on CD playback. It may have more extensive sound shaping capabilities. It may have more preamp outputs. It may have a better built-in crossover network. It may have a better screen. It may play compressed music formats that the one it replaces wouldn't decode (Kenwood's proprietary .aac file format [or is that Apple's file format for iTunes?! I forget...] or Sony's ATRAC3, for example) An upgraded head unit may reproduce whatever source material you're playing more accurately than another option. There are many, many things a better head unit may potentially be better at doing.... [/QUOTE]
