If you are a true ‘audiophile’, you may hear a difference in the sound quality due to the compression. The rest of the world ain’t gonna hear much difference. I have spent 20+ years in the car audio business & my iPod sounds pretty damn good in my vehicles with a direct input. My truck has a pretty healthy system & the iPod sounds great at high volumes. I have the direct interface with my Jeep OEM Infinity system & it sounds as good as a cd. I was just going to come and throw the flag… but it seems you beat me to it… I have a direct line input to the stock headunit in the goat, and I challenge you to hear a difference between a retail audio cd and some of my VBR Encodes… shit even a 192 CBR --- _[View the full topic](https://forums.speedlife.net/t/question-about-ipod-not-sounding-loud/197470)._
