question for u audiophiles
 

I'm not a audiophile but i know good sound when i hear it and im wondering
about something.... i came across this by accident... i listen to most of my music using a aux cable plugged into my iphone which of course is plugged into the aux input of my base head unit. which i upgraded with jbl component
speakers.. let me get to the point. so i burned a cd today with the exact same songs on it and played it today and the sound quailty was a whole lot
better,highs,lows everything.so what gives... im using itunes if that matters.

Should read this write up I did. Will open your eyes. Post number one

The ipod digital to analog converter is poor compared to good ones, your best bet is to use the bottom conector for a Low level output instead of the amplified signal coming out from the headphone jack. I use itunes as well but I import my music uncompressed from cd's than I use the bottom port on the ipod for full control voer it and better quality music through my head unit.

could also be a bit rate issue, could of burned the cd at a higher quality then the tunes on your ipod are

Not if he burned a cd from the same stuff in itunes.

i used highest bit rate and sound check off on settings. if that means anything.

This is what you are experiencing.

what do i need to get to use the bottom port on my iphone to play my music
instead of using the headphone jack.because there's no doubt a burned cd sounds better than using a aux. cable

You want the ipod conector on the bottom going to rca cables than use male to Male connectors to go to a Y splitter that goes to a h3.5 mm jack.

Thanks Big i'll give it a try and let u know how it works out

No problem if that does not get you what you want than it is time to upgrade to a head unit with dedicated ipod controls.
