Hi There,
Since getting my '05 D3 i've been looking at audio options. The Bose system sounds great off the 6 CD changer, but to be honest it's a bit limited!
You can add an AMI which is not particularly cheap. Adds Usb/HD, Ipod and Aux however from what I can see all of those have lossy sound formats so you sacrifice some sound quality for convienience and sources.
Aux isn't lossy persay, but has no stereo control, so we can mostly ignore it as a practical source.
The Dension Gateway 500 is a cheaper choice and is a little more flexible but seems to suffer the same lossy handicap though you can get ADAP and bluetooth with extra add on costs / higher range models
Then i came across this

It has FLAC support. Handy as my home server is all ripped to FLAC to start with (And I've used the marvelous Phatbox/Kenwood music keg for years!)
The only downsides I can see is that it's not OEM and it seems you have to loose the CD drive. I am wondering if you can split off the CD MOST in a similar way to the Dension (dual FOT) version ????
Any opinions ???
