Hotspot setting of your phone if available.How do I do that on an iPhone? Or is that an in-car setting?
Haha I was reading your comment and got to the part where you found everything fatiguing and thought “I bet he listens to only tubes”.My thoughts from the other side of the pond. The current Tesla music apps are pretty poor sound quality, so poor that I never use them as they are just fatiguing. Instead I'm using Qobuz on my phone over the bluetooth, and it still can be fatiguing.
I had Tidal Masters when it first became available in the US and thought that it sounded very good, but I never could quite wrap my head around how they were saying it worked. I have 2 different MQA DACs, neither high end, and also other DACs that would still sound good when played. I believe the first 'unfold' happens in the the software and brings enough of an improvement to be audible. Then Qobuz became available in the US and I immediately subscribed to that as well. I had both subscriptions running for about 6 months so I could use either. I found though that I used Qobuz much more since everything I listened to was available on both. If it were in MQA on Tidal it would be in hi-res on Qobuz. I dropped Tidal when the student discount I got ran out and I realized I wasn't using it. My setup is all tubes with DIY speakers designed by Troels Gravesen. There is just an ease of presentation in hi-res that you miss when you go down to CD quality and is ruined by compression completely.
As for cabin noise, I played hi-res in my Honda Odyssey and you could certainly hear the difference, even on the highway. It's the same thing, an ease of presentation and clarity. I sold my Odyssey when I bought my M3 and my daughter has the setup now in her 2009 Camry and it still sounds better than any other source in that car. The M3 is much quieter than either of those so I expect hi-res to sound much better in it too. And if it is not fatiguing the way bluetooth or low bitrate is I'll keep it on longer.
I'm just waiting now for the software update to happen in the car, I'll resubscribe to Tidal, and I've already changed my phone plan to allow for a high speed hotspot so I can download music on the road.
I don't only listen to tubes, just my main system. All the others play just fine in hi-res. But to call that mish-mash of sound from bluetooth "exact digital treble" is just crazy. If it "removes soundstage and depth" how is it exact? It can't be both. And I find it fatiguing, my wife does too and she couldn't care less about sound quality. She thinks the whole thing sounds tizzy.Haha I was reading your comment and got to the part where you found everything fatiguing and thought “I bet he listens to only tubes”.
Oh yep, further down, exactly right! I just think you don’t enjoy exact digital treble and like everything rolled off
I do think 96kbps is far too low for music on anything better than a Bluetooth speaker and certainly Bluetooth removes soundstage and depth from a track. But I don’t find it fatiguing at all.
Lastly, MQA is a joke format and total embarrassment. Just a way to sell a lossy format and licensing. Gross.
It would be nice if Elon could just add proper support for phones via USB and/or Apple Music.
You're not missing anything.We don't have Slacker in our Tesla's over here.
'Scuse my ignorance, but will you really notice the difference with all the ambient noise in the car whilst driving?
Sorry, I'm a simple soul and don't understand all these bit rate audio stuff being chucked around. I'm a punter with Premium Connectivity in the Tesla and Apple Music on the phone. How do I get optimum sound quality from what I have?
There would have to be extraordinarily better sound quality to justify an additional subscription for me. I do value sound quality. My home audio system is quite high-end in terms of speakers and amplifiers, but I don't use any good DAC on my sound sources.
