[QUOTE="trumpet, post: 8151558, member: 628688"] The short answer is "it depends". It depends on the Bluetooth protocol of the source and the receiver. Bluetooth is getting better for streaming audio quality, but manufacturers are not all making it easy to see what version of BT they're shipping. From a marketing stand point this is good, because people don't give a crap about protocols, they want to know what they're getting for their money. From a technical standpoint, for this niche of customers who are concerned about loss of audio fidelity, hiding this information is bad. Right now I can't even tell you which head units will have the best possible Bluetooth streaming music quality. At least with phones you can go to smartphone review sites and dig around for the detailed specs. You're better off transitioning your music to USB flash media and using Bluetooth only for Pandora and the like where the audio is already compressed quite a bit. [/QUOTE]
