That is basically the deck in my car, with Bluetooth and it already has USB.

Great choice IMO.

I would love to see a head unit with usb that could play flac or some other kind of lossless file. I feel like it is silly to put money into a system and then listen to compressed music...

i was on the verge...... i need to get it

[rountreesj]

just bought it from amizon for like $206 shipped. next in line is amps. I need to decide if i want a lot of bass or a good mellow sound. I'm wanting to put the stock bmw speakers in the doors, and put some 6.5 midbass subs in the stock locations, and yes i know i will need to custom mount the midbasses.

then for the rear, i'd like to add either more 6.5's or some 6x9's and then also use the stock premium speakers.

the plan is to run the fronts off a 4 channel amp, and the rears off another 4 channel. then to run x-overs on all four corners. i won't get the amps until i know what i set up, but you guys tell me what you think.

FWIW, I'm putting a JVC KD-A815 into my "new" E34. According to Sonic Electronix, this unit is a 2010 model replacing the KD-R900 that I originally had on order and is exactly the same guts/features inside. The KD-R900 is currently on backorder, but I am willing to bet that when they finally come in they will be offering a closeout deal on them.

try ripping into .WMA at 192K.

It kicks the crap out of MP3 at 320K. WAY better dynamics, clarity, detail. Yeah, its still a step down from even normal 44Khz 16 bit CD, but it is listenable. That is why virtually all of my library is 192K .WMA

Wow, good tip. I had no idea that .wma was a better format.

Microshaft bought Pacific Microsonics who invented HDCD, and that is basically the algorithm used in .WMA
