Digital player for truck suggestions

'Sup, all?

My truck of the near future does not have a cd player included. Rather than go aftermarket, I figured I'd use this as an excuse to enter the world of digital media players beyond my iPhone. The truck does have Bluetooth capability, fyi.

Should I just stick with my iPhone and Spotify?
What about Pono? Or Astell and Kern?

I don't want to spend more than ~$500 or so on one. And I freely admit I know nothing about the genre.

Any guidance or cheerleading will be most appreciated.

Warm regards,

Simao

For years now I've been using my iPod via Bluetooth into my car audio system. It works great. We also sometimes use my son's iPhone the same way when traveling. I rip my CDs to iTunes using AIFF with error correction turned on and sync to my iPod. It sounds surprisingly good in the car.

You can also listen to any other digital source that you can access on your phone. I sometimes cache 4 hours of Radio Paradise on my iPod and listen to it via bluetooth in the car. Uses none of your data plan that way.

Enjoy,
