the 406 has an aux-in. so yes you can play ipod on it. however it is not a lossless connection like many of the new headunits are touting. and there is no ipod interface since it is a featureless deck.

My number one priority is SQ, with ipod control and interface being second.

I'm considering the Nakamichi CD500, but I'm not sure if I would need an additional EQ to get the flexibility a system needs for good sound?

Also considering the Pioneer DEH800 but unsure of the sound quality - obviously it has the features and ipod control though.

One note; I know it's counter intuitive to look for an SQ deck with ipod control as a priority. I use my ipod for casual listening but will always use CDs for critical listening.

My system:
HU: Eclipse CD7200MKII
4ch: Audison LRX4.1k
Sub Amp: Alpine MRD-M501
Front: Hertz MLK165
Rear: Hertz ESk165
Sub: JL Audio Stealthbox (10" W3v3)

Any thoughts or suggestions are appreciated!

I tinhk the Clarion drz 9255 is the better way to go with everything, superb sound quality and the more flexibility available actualy!!!
