Best way to play music in car? (for highest quality sound)

Post by DavideBianchini »

Hello,
I am wondering what is the best way to play music in my car for the highest quality sound. USB? Android Auto? Bluetooth? Aux 1/8"? Does it make a difference? I am looking to buy an aftermarket receiver, and do not know which features I should get.

On the stock receiver, I am currently using bluetooth, and it distorts way too easily. I have to turn the pre-amps way down to avoid distortion, but then the bass suffers.

Note, I am a bit of an audiophile, and only listen to mp3s that are 320kbps, because anything lower sounds terrible to me.

Thank you.

Since Bluetooth, Android Auto, and USB feed a digital signal to the electronics in the car. Aux 1/8 would use the electronics in the Android device to send a n audio signal to the car electronics, it may sound different.
