wow really? MP4A AAC? that sucks. what about Apple carplay?

you're probably right. Could be just my internal biases kicking in making me believe i'm enjoying it more (which is fine by me then haha) For most cars you are right, Car speakers taken from generic Speaker maker XYZ and stuff... but on the higher end luxury cars now with their superb external noise isolation and speaker design with whopping power. it actually sounds great imo at least. the BMW 8 Series gran coupe with the 1500w Bowers & WIlkin set up/ S class w/ 1800w Burmester or even the cheaper Mazda 3 with Bose sounds great (not as good as an actual studio though) [last i tested these cars was using a USB Removable device with music stored in] but for the most part yeah you're right.

Ooh Really? damn. I was told that it was lossless PCM by people irl and google forums. good to know, thanks for the info max

when i first used AA, i thought that as well but from my experience (with the new Mazda's Bose and BMW's Harman Kardon w/ iDrive 7) i think it actually routes through the USB and/or WIFI-Direct (For Wireless Android auto) considering that in both cars, the BT is registered to only be used for telephony with music audio disconnected when AA is connected. and i can definitely hear the difference with AA vs BT. Though question is, is does Poweramp stream hi res to AA or is it stuck with the standard 16/44.1khz mode?

Hey ho! Quick question to the community. Does Poweramp v3 Output Hi-Res via Android Auto to the car's headunit/audio system? or is it just at CD quality?
