btlancaster24 Posted December 27, 2020 Share Posted December 27, 2020 I'd like to know which USB flash drive is going to the best job with music files to be played either in my car in the usb port or in the back of one of my powered speakers that have a USB port for playing music. I realize that some may say that any flash drive will do the job. But surely there are good, better, best in this category. Thanks!

And I've hardly ever used one for anything. So, best in regards to everything about it. Overall quality and how it affects the sound of music when I plug it into the usb port in my car, my stereo or the back of a powered speaker.

It used to matter when playing 24/192 files some years back, with some cheap types stuttering. A good all round USB memory stick is SanDisk Ultra Kal Rubinson 1 How a Digital Audio file sounds, or a Digital Video file looks, is governed to a large extent by the Power Supply area. All that Identical Checksums gives is the possibility of REGENERATING the file to close to that of the original file. PROFILE UPDATED 13-11-2020 Link to comment
