Question.. Sound quality compared to CD?
Anyone compared loss-less tunes or good format to CD of same with a critical ear to see if it's reeeeally "cd quality" as claimed? The grom is 18bit, claiming "better than cd" quality.

USB vs. auxiliary input
“Technically, the USB systems will produce a better sound because there are fewer connections on the way to the speakers. Stereos with a USB connector let you plug in a USB key filled with MP3 files, and the stereo will use the key as an audio source, just like a CD. With an auxiliary input, you are playing the music on your MP3 player, then running its output into the stereo where it gets amplified again, as opposed to the single amplification step it goes through with the USB key.”
