The best option to factory upgrade a car sound system
I bought this unit sometime ago to upgrade the sound of a Toyota HiAce van, I just connected the rear ( unused) speakers output to the LC2i and from it, I added a 4 channel amplifier and a powered 12 inch subwoofer box, I made a 3 way speaker (rear) set up with a 6X9 and a 3.5inch and tweeter plate and I used a Lanzar 6.5" component speaker as fronts. All speakers were installed in boxes, as there is no much option to install speakers in the van cabin. I used my 5th gen modified Ipod ( 250GB SSD drive) as a source.
after tunning all up, I was greatly surprised of the sound quality of the LC2i, especially the bass output, The 3 knob control on the unit give plenty of room for tuning, especially gain of the rca output and the harmonics and output of the subwoofer.
This is the most basic and entry level Line Output converter from Audiocontrol, but performs as top of the line and if you like to upgrade your car factory audio system this is one of the best options( and cheapest) you could find, needles to say that the ACR-1 subwoofer remote level control is a must to have it, as it makes much easier to control the subwoofer volume.

The 5th Gen Ipod has the best sound quality
The Ipod is an amazing and great invention, I have around 8000 songs in one of those and keep putting more in other one.
Why I bought this 80GB 5th gen Ipod? Just one very important reason: SOUND QUALITY. If you like music and have trained your ears to distinguish sound quality ( I use on eof the best earphones available: Shure SE535 with custom silver( the metal conductor inside) cables.
As many ipod users I upgraded to the new classic with 160GB hard disc but immediaditely noticed a difference in sound, I wouldn't say the new ipod classic sounds bad, it sounds great for most of us, but when using premiun earphones it is easy to distinguish the differences: the 5th gen ipod has a better stereo image and separation, instruments could be heard in different spatial positions same as vocals; the lower end (bass) has more body and musicality and is pleasant to listen to it, mid and high notes are very accurate and crisp.
The difference is in the digital to analog converter chip the 5th gen has a Wolfson and the latest has a Cirrus Logic, more energy effcient but the stereo image is nearly absent, the bass is not accurate mids are ok but highs are a bit overboard and do not sound natural.
Now I have two of these ipods and I am really happy listening my music in them.
