Qobuz in the car

Sirius sounds terrible imho. Whatever compression scheme they use reminds me of ancient low bitrate mp3 files. It's fine for talk radio (yuck) or podcast style programs but a non-starter for music in my opinion. 

I would take any version of Qobuz (or Tidal, or Apple Music) over Sirius. Even the worst connection which would be lossy Bluetooth should still be superior. Apple Carplay or Android Audio is another step up even when using a wireless version (it uses wifi instead of lossy bluetooth to send the signal). Using a cable to an aux jack is good too, again much better than Sirius.

Obviously the convenience factor is important. Carplay and Android Audio do a great job I think. So use one of those if you can.

Yes music on Sirius in car always been a recipe for ear bleeds for me. No thanks.

It’s funny. I never liked Sirius, but my wife loves it. I finally got her off of it, but every time we rent a car, it’s like heroin to a junkie. It takes months to get her off of the high she gets from listening to the comedy channels.

@curiousjim , I hear you brother. I have friends that like talk radio and Sirius is their go to. My fix is English and San Francisco era classic rock, hence Tidal and Qbuz. Some of the comedy stuff is great I just don’t go to it. I like Ron White but profanitie offends my wife. The other guy from that group never swears and he’s hilarious. I have a headphone rig in my nightstand comprised of leftovers from my main stereo. I tend to stream Radio Paradise and  WWW.1.FM channels. I’ve never tried those in the car but they’re free. FWIT I have AT&T mobile and it sucks here, I need to switch to Verizon. Regards, Mike B.

Never heard of WWW.1, but I’ll search it out later. 
Oh, check out T-Mobile. They are definitely cheaper, they offer free cable channels likeHulu and Netflix and best of all, they use Verizon’s towers.

All the best.
