[QUOTE="jolly_26, post: 7585556, member: 635986"] If you rip directly off cds to mp3 at 320kbps or above you should be alright, unless you're out for ultimate sq. The standard setting for itunes is 128kbps which is rubbish, I literally cannot listen to anything at that level. I can't stand itunes, and so I use a different software for my iPod. If you know what you are doing you can get some pretty good results, particularly if you run off a direct usb dock to the head unit and not the headphone output. Usually this will actually set the gain equal to that of a cd, I know mine did when I had one, even when tested with a multi meter on test tones. To be honest I would be surprised if anyone on here can tell the difference between a high quality direct rip and straight off the cd by ear, even if played through a pair of very high quality headphones, or through a cars sound system.
