    Either of these any good? Should I be going for pioneer, sony, alpine or some other for best audio quality?
    They're both about £70 and have what I'm looking for in terms of features I think:

    Under £100
    USB
    Aux In
    Preferably playback of m4a ALAC via ipod or cd
    The Best Sound Quality

    Thanks

    the best sound quality is usually sony... they have 120db signal to noise ratio on most models.. alpine has about 105db signal to noise and pioneer some of them on have like 90something... they are by far the worst sounding head units in my opinoin...

    I bought CDXGT650UI. And it gets abnormally hot (the heat sink) after 3-5 minutes at moderate sound level. Is that normal? Installaton is 100% according to manual (ohm rating etc...). Thnx for advice!
