Digital player for truck suggestions

Thanks for the reply. My serious listening is on the downstairs system: more and more vinyl and a static number or so of cd's.

The upstairs system is more casual - streaming from my phone; the occasional cd in the blue-ray player. I have about 200 tunes on my phone. I haven't bothered ripping any cd's onto my macbook pro yet. Now have I taken advantage of any download codes from the newer vinyl I've bought.

yes, the truck will have an aux jack as well as a USB.

I'll be looking for high quality files in my vehicle. I do serious listening when I drive, too. Not as serious or engaging as late-night sessions, but pretty intense.

@elevick I would probably aftermarket both the car stereo and speakers. The company offers a $500 Bose 7-speaker upgrade package, but I doubt I would be happy with that And would be happy to spend more if it got me more.

And no $100K SUV; we're looking at a $32K pick-up at most. 

I do appreciate all the advice you've given me on this. @djohnson54 You have a point about not getting too worked up about sound quality - especially in a truck where road noise is going to be a bit more than in a more sealed sedan or coupe. I think I'll invest in a good digital media player - an iPod 6; an Astern; maybe an Onkyo or a Sony - and work on ripping and downloading in ALAC, as @dbtom2 suggested.

the vehicle in question can function as a wifi hotspot, so that's a bonus.
