    How much would a DAC improve iPhone to car stereo lossless streaming playback?

    Hi John! No, from all the advice I have received in this thread it seems like there's nothing I can really do. I'm pretty happy, overall, with the sound. Just always looking for ways to make it that much better. Thanks, everyone, for the help.

    That's my fear, Doug. I have over 8,000 songs divided into Playlists that I need some sort of menu structure for. Doesn't look like a straight copy to a drive will preserve that structure. I will say that using EXPORT FOR ITUNES on a Mac did preserve the iTunes structure and all my Playlists...

    Yeah, I am not optimistic on this end. Thank you once again.

    John, Do you have Windows or a Mac? Do you simply copy the iTunes Music folder to the drive and that does it? I would guess any Meta Data is included in such a copy. Thanks, as always, for your help

    John, Is there any menu structure that you can search for songs or play by a playlist? All that is done with iTunes and without it, it seems like you are just scrolling through files of music. What do you recommend as far as direct copying to a drive and playback organization is concerned?

    You would be a good person to talk to about this as I have been trying to do the same thing. I bought a 1TB external SSD drive I had to format the drive in one of the Windows file formats as the vehicle only recognizes one of them. Forgot which one it was but it wasn't an issue. Got it to...

    How much would a DAC improve iPhone to car stereo lossless streaming playback?

    Quite a bit of my downloaded music on the iPhone is directly off of CD and at about 800kbps. However, most of it is at 360kbps which I find to be a great alternative and I generally don't like to go below that bitrate. I never wanted to stream music until Verizon recently updated my plan and...

    Oh, absolutely. In fact, it's created a difficult situation for my daily driving. I love wireless Apple Carplay. However, I can't take advantage of it because I hate and refuse to use Bluetooth for audio. I mean, you have this hefty lossless signal that you are channeling through this narrow...

    @Dave Upton and @dpippel thank you for the responses Yes, using Apple CarPlay to access Apple Music and Qobuz. I appreciate the help, guys. And as disappointing as the responses are as far as getting anything more out of my vehicle music playback, you have actually saved me $$$ and that's a...

    How much would a DAC improve iPhone to car stereo lossless streaming playback?

    Thank you, John, as always. No, only USB-A and USB-C connections There is no headphone jack on the iPhone but there is a lightning -> headphone dongle that I could get if it would improve the audio. Kind of sounds like I'm probably getting the best audio quality I can get in the vehicle.

    My favorite place to listen to music is in my car. I have a Lincoln with a 14-speaker Revel Audio system that sounds spectacular. I have been downloading Hi-Rez lossless music from Qobuz to my iPhone for playback in the vehicle. Also been streaming lossless music from Apple. Now that Verizon...
