Hi guys. I am thinking of getting one of those "Carputers" and using WinAmp and my "stereo", but then again I am also considering the iMod from RedWine. I was wondering have any of you compared the sound quality of your iMod to your the line out of a PC SoundBlaster sound card? Even if you haven't which one would you reckon sounds better when listened to in car environment?

What are your thoughts/recommendations/experiences?

The iMod would probably come out a bit cheaper but not by much, since I would need a *Soundgate AUXMB1* which is another $260.

iMod $400+Soundgate Aulmbox $260= $660.

I wonder how much it would cost to get the Carputer instead?

I just discovered there's a new iPod Integration Kit available for select Model 2004 and newer Mercedes-Benz cars. *LINK*


I have a 2001 but I'm sure they can work around around that.

According to the website it requires a docking station connection and then the kit integrates with the iPod. My question is will I be able to utilize an iMod with this kit even though it connects to the docking station? Will I hear the benefits?

With the iMod the line out via the dock is disabled.

Directly out of the Red Wine Audio Website:
