I have bluetooth/aux/cd/am/fm in my car.. I only listen to lossless formats, through the new PowerAmp alpha (android) outputting 24bit over the headphone dac and even bluetooth. The aux BY FAR sounds the worst.. followed by the stock Prius CD player, with the Bluetooth stream sounding the most full and cleanest.
This could be a number of things. My current device is a Samsung S7e, which is known for it's exquisite bluetooth implementation (I can walk ALL over my house without the BT signal dropping).. It doesn't seem to have that great of a headphone DAC as it sounds mediocre on everything I plug it into. The internal DAC on the prius seems like it works well for CDs and BT, but not on it's auxillary inputs.
Thoughts?
