The radio sounds great, as do cd's. I would just like more eq control. What I appreciate is my daughters ipod in the usb connection, as opposed to my mp3 player being rendered to using the aux jack. There is a significant difference in volume between the two, as well as sound quality, I believe. When you use the aux jack, you're stuck relying on your mp3 players DAC to go out from the headphone jack, and then the fits ADC on the aux jack, which together puts a bit of a hurt on the sound quality. Using the usb hookup takes out the converters from the equasion and the audio remains in the digital realm and thus- immediately better sound. At least I think that's what's going on. I must get a compatable usb unit, for sure. Until then, I'm gonna go back to doing serious monitoring from cd's, in the car.

I know with the Aux input you can mess with the EQ on the iPod itself more in depth than you can with the car's 2 choices.

Does the EQ selection make itself present when it's plugged in through the USB input?
