Default Anyone here using the IPod with wireless FM modulator?

Wonder how the sound quality is. Obviously it's not digital quality but is it a noticeable degradation in quality?

Default I have the FM modulater for my IPod. However, I found that the sound quality was very inferior vs

the IPod or CD player. We need a direct connection for the A8 - soon!

Default I use the iTrip. It is OK but hardly CD quality.

I agree with the comments above

Default Yes, it works. Poorly IMHO.

I am looking forward to the icelink that is <supposedly> coming for MOST based systems this summer.

Default I have the Monster modulator/cig lighter adapter and it's marginal at best

Worst problem is in almost every area you drive there are FM stations conflicting with the supposedly "little used" frequencies the thing can broadcast on. Hiss and static are a bigger problem than the (also noticeable) degradation of sound quality.
