[s-cars] AUDIophile! Stereo Options?

[qshipq at aol.com]

 ...  It's a conspiracy, or good marketing.  Cody, find a guy that claims he can demonstrate the difference, and see if the value is there for you.  A cd player with a crappy DAC will sound the same as any .mp3 player with the same crappy DAC.  If all are equal, and acceptable to you, then it's 100% fit for use.  There-in lies the conspiracy, and the good marketing.  Time to call Jesse Ventura....

I must be part def or something because I can't tell the difference between an 

original CD, my iPhone, nor an MP3 cd. This is including my PC based 5.1 Bose 

setup, my stock 5ktq with a decent Alpine head unit, my all stock (audio wise) 

A8q mit Bose, and my other 5ktq with a top of the line Clarion head unit driving 

MB Quart Q-series miss and highs with an MTX bass driver. Obviously sound 

quality between the different systems varies, but in the same vehicle I can't 

tell the difference between different media until a cassette tape in involved. I 

encode my MP3s at 320kbps, but I uh  "found" a bunch on my pc that are at the 

more common 256 or even 120 (or whatever that is).
