About time FLAC gets to car audio.
By Brad
Very basic player with 105db s/n ratio and 24 bit dac. Once the search function is set up it works very well, loads my 240gb SSD in external enclosure very fast (about 5 seconds versus Sony which was 10-15, the initial load for the Sony is about 4-5 minutes as it had to create a database of all the music on the storage device, Kenwood has ingeniously created Windows software do that work and create a database file on the music drive which the KMM-100u loads in seconds) and begins playing. I have this paired with a Clarion EQS746 to allow for 6 channel pre out. The sound stage is bigger and more defined with a better sense of air than the Sony dsx-s210x it replaced. Now I don't have to convert every file from my hard drive to be compatible with my car (not to mention compression loss) and the portable hard drive doubles as another backup of my files. I will get another soon for the wifes car. The only gripe I have is the display could have been a bit higher resolution but oh well. Will update later as I get used to it.Drove to the store tonight and am more impressed; there is so much more dynamic range. I took the long way home to listen longer. Anyone who says the sound quality difference between mp3 and flac in a car wouldn't be heard needs to give this a listen; I say bull****! I easily hear a difference and the wife does too! That's saying something. FYI this unit will play only 16 bit flacs now but seems it may be upgraded via firmware in the future to play up to 32bits, according to Talk Audio a car audio online magazine. Anyway sounds VERY good!Just read the review from Adam Rayner, of Talk Audio, of the KMM-257U. It is the European version/sibling of this unit. Seems this generation will play 16 bit only but the next generation units will be able to decode 32 bit. FYI read his review on Talk Audio of the KMM-257u; he gave the sound quality a 10 out of 10. I still am blown away by the quality of sound this unit puts out for such little money. This thing is ALL about sound quality and little else.I should also note I am buying more cd's lately; now that I can hear a difference it is fun to get new music again.
