What generally has better quality sound. CD's or Aux from an MP3 player?
At the moment I'm using an iTrip, which sounds just like the radio, however compared to CD it sounds like a $2 toy. I'll be buying a new head deck soon for my car. I know I can get one with both CD player and AUX input however I just want to know a bit about it before I reach into my wallet.
CD is going to have better sound quality because the encoding of a WAV file is of a higher quality that MP3..the best way to get top quality sound from you MP3 player is to buy a head unit that is designed to process the signal from that unit and has a dedicated connection... Some head units will compensate for the sound coming from MP3's and expand the sound back to CD quality..its still artificial so it will never be as high fidelity as an original CD but it helps to improve the sound and make it more enjoyable to listen too.
