The Sat 6D from Blue Sky is an individual powered monitor with digital inputs that is part of the Star System One Monitoring System, providing precision and accuracy for film, television, and gaming audio post production, as well as music recording and mixing.

The Sat 6D utilizes a 6.5" high excursion radial magnet woofer and 1" ring radial tweeter. The digital circuitry features FR4 6-layer circuit boards, Burr-Brown 192 kHz/24-bit AD/DA converters, and a Cirrus Logic Digital receiver and sample rate converter. In addition, the Sat 6D has a "Pure-Digital" mode for 48 kHz and 96 kHz operation, where the native input from the AES/EBU receiver is sent straight to the DAC.

The on-board USB data port provides speaker settings, updates and room correction inputs, which includes a 1/3 octave, 31-band digital graphic equalizer plus 8 bands of parametric EQ and filters. The system includes Blue Sky's Speaker Management Software that works in tandem with the included Speaker Room Optimization and Binary Organic Optimization software to calculate precise response curves to measure and optimally correct room problems. The Sat 6D ships with a removable "port" plate and IEC power cord.

A: I have not actually tried what you are asking, however, I don't see any way that it could. This unit is a sound card designed to plug in to a USB port on a computer and convert a digital audio signal to an analog signal capable of feed headphones. The USB port on your car stereo is designed to read digital data stored on a thumb drive. MP3 files, wav files, etc. are binary code that can be read by the D/A converter in your car stereo. Your MP3 player's headphone jack simply outputs analog audio that can be listened to through a transducer like headphones or earbuds.
