Question about Aftermarket iPod/MP3 Player Hookup
Ladies and Gentlemen,
Quick question: I know that aftermarket iPod/MP3 hookups come in two varieties: AUX cord that plugs into the aux jack on the device, and those of the USB variety and plug into the bottom of an iPod.
Is there a difference in sound quality between the two? I ask because I have the VaisTech iPod hookup that goes into the bottom of my iPod, and the sound quality is so-so. I know that Apple doesnt support 320k audio whereas my BlackBerry PlayBook does, so for this reason, I was thinking of having the Vaistech unit uninstalled and having an aux cord put in. This would allow me to play HQ audio in the car, but I am not sure if there is a noticeable difference between USB/AUX method. Using headphones, the difference between the iPod and PlayBook is very noticeable, but not sure about it in the car.
Would I notice a difference if I switched to AUX and used my PlayBook?
Put simply: is there a difference in sound quality between the AUX and USB connections?
Thanks in advance,
Michael
