I use SD and USB mostly, it's just convenient but I do think the iPhone via USB connection may be a slight and I do mean slight, quality bump.

While our radios will play WAV files, I do prefer apple lossless over that.

I run my iPod through the USB for everyday music but also run the FLAC Player App on it for the high definition stuff I have when I want to take advantage of the semi-SQ system I have. I have a 64GB touch that stays in the truck or I'll throw my iPhone on it from time to time.

OK Mr. Highroller. Not all of us are going to buy a $700 media player :roflsquared: How do you like the 100? Does it still have a lot of bugs?

I mostly listen to local radio or satellite... going more toward satellite recently. For my own music library, I have a 16GB SD card loaded up.

Interesting....Alot of ipod sources. I am going to transfer all my music from my 32gb iPod touch to USB drive for a couple reasons:
1.) ipod has a "popping" nose, similiar to listening to a vinyl record. Tried multiple cords and ipods. It doesnt seems to filter corrctly for some reason.
2.) USB is low profile and will not have any wires to clutter the console and I dont have to worry about charging.
