The Receiver has a better DAC than the car player. The sound quality is absolutely spot on - I think you'll be impressed.

Even the integral amp (Tripath) is exceptionally good, and is capable of driving small-ish hifi speakers in an impressive way. We have some Mission 702e's in the office (small floor standers) which hook up to a Receiver and pump out Toby's excellent psychadelic trance collection (to the annoyance of most other people here).
