Qobuz in the car

It’s been answered but FWIT, I have Qbuz and Tidal apps on my IPhone. I have a new F-150 truck and I can Bluetooth with Apple CarPlay or connect with a usb cable as I have an older phone that has the lightning connector. I have a Pangea and an Audioquest cable for this task. On my Tidal app I’ve downloaded a couple play lists and about a dozen albums in high resolution so I can stream offline when I’m in the mountains or remote areas. The suggestion to use a Dragonfly is a good one and I read where another member used a small DAC that was powered off the usb. Happy Listening, Mike B.

If you use the iPhone Camera adapter, then you can connect the dragonfly to it and connect to car audio with the 3.5mm.  Only the camera adapter allows the phone to pass the highest resolution digital stream directly to the car audio.

Thanks to all for the info.  Would any of you choose this over SiriusFM?

I had free Sirius in my last 2 vehicles and I quit using it very quickly. Unfortunately they continually bothered me to renew. FWIT my wife bought a new car last week and I asked the sales agent not to activate Sirius and remove us from their marketing. He said that’s not possible, once again a parasitic sales company. Also while driving the hills of Northern California and western Oregon it continually cut in and out like an old car radio YMMV. Cheers , Mike B. 

Sound quality wise, Qobuz via Apple car play sounds better than Amazon Music in my cars, sounds better than connecting via Bluetooth.  If AI is right, might be wrong… Apple or Android CarPlay have a separate WiFi antenna that does transmit higher res, supports other res which yields better results than BT.  Sirius, in any of my cars it’s never sounded all that good, I prefer HD radio over it any day.  If Sound Quality is what you are after, Qobuz via car play hands down, YMMV, that’s my experience
