We're not suggesting analogue as an alternative for car use. T9 Man and I got off topic a bit and I apologise for that
Analogue is far from dead for dedicated music fans. I hated CD for years because unless you spent thousands of pounds on a player you would get far better results with vinyl. That changed in the mid 1990s and budget CD players grew up quickly. Technics made a good stab at this with their MASH players - I've still got one here and still use it.
CD is digital (strangely some people think it isn't) and its appeal is the fact that there is no compression involved. The sampling rate and bit depth are fixed.
iPods and other such devices use lossy compression algorithms and the sound to my ears car be spineless and empty at times.
