IIRC Apple/itunes uses an an mp4 encoded AAC or something like that which can be lossy or lossless so if you get good quality from them its probably a loseless song, Apple is one company I'd never give any $ to though.
No offense taken, I just wanted to clairify what I meant, sometimes I'm misunderstood.
The issue with the jack isn't with quality, its about tolerances in manufacturing. If you go to Homedepot and buy some 2x4s (1.5"x3.5") and measure them you'll find that one is 1.502x3.502 and another could be 1.497x3.501 etc. Headphone jacks and plugs are the same, they are not all 3.5mm, you have to have a little bit of difference in the jack and plug to allow them to fit. So every mechanical spec will be published with an allowable tolerance, the 3.5mm could be +/- 10% and motorola made the jack at +10% while some plugs are at -10% so they fit loose.
I don't have a real fancy system ay home, its a samsung blueray home theater ~$500 but I'm wondering if lossless will sound better in it.
I'm thinking of getting a BT heatset anyway, I remmber someone had one that was like a normal headset with one speaker and the mic and then you added the other speaker for when you wanted to listen to music.
I want to get a BT receiver for my truck but that means either replacing the whole radio which requires an adapter or a bluetooth to line and then line adater for the existing radio so either way its not cheap. Or tear into the existing radio and find the end of the casette preamp and make that a line in.
I've not found anywhere to buy any loseless music, Amazon said they have no plan to so it.
