Well, I have a somewhat high end car system.....McIntosh amplifier, Audison digital processor and Focal Utopia speakers. Anything Bluetooth pretty much sounds like crap whether it’s on the phone or streaming from Tidal. Direct connection through the iPod media interface sounds excellent. I would assume that a player like an Astell &Kern would sound even better but I would have to use the line input and the players interface....that’s why I was wondering if any of the brands out there can use USB out to the car.
