I can tell you unequivocally that Qobuz sounds better (to my ear) than Tidal, and the price is much better too. Tidal you're paying for a slightly (and I mean slightly) more expansive library and all that high rez crap that NO car DAC can reproduce anyway..And quite honestly it's meaningless since most of it all comes down to the recording, not the resolution.

How are you liking the Bavsound? I am deciding between it and the Bimmertech kits. I have the hifi system and it's not going to cut it for us.
I coded the B&W menus (which includes the B&W DAC options as well) to use with my HK system. While not originally designed for the HK system, B&W DAC options produce a better sound experience with the HK system IMHO. As far as the Bavsound upgrade, I find it to be a very noticeable improvement - especially when paired with a good sound source. I don’t have any experience with the Bimmertech stuff, but I will speculate the Bimmertech stuff will have a similar improvement.
