Finally got around to comparing - iPhone with cable is much better than sd card which itself is a bit better than jukebox. Anyone know why? Sd was copied from iTunes library on pc directly so no compression added? All song originally purchased from iTunes on the iPhone

Any particular reason why this isn't a continuation of your previous thread?

I fall to peer pressure!
Have you checked the individual output settings on the car system itself? (Bass, trebble, etc)
Radio, SD, Bluetooth, AUX I think each has it's own settings?

^ Good point, I wonder if everyone knows treble/bass/sub can be set differently in each of the sources?

Is the answer to the difference in the sound quality to do with the quality of the DAC? If you are playing the music from the iphone then perhaps it is using the DAC in the iphone whilst from the jukebox or the SD card it is using the DAC in the car audio. This might be completely wrong if the signal from the iphone is digital (is it?) and I agree it does not account for differences between the SD card and the juke box. I assume the differences are very subtle and audio tests by ear tend to be very subjective (i.e. did you know what you were listening to when you decided one source sounded better than the other or did you do it blind with someone else switching the sources?)
