[QUOTE="wew lad, post: 8678601, member: 665412"] You should in theory notice a difference in SQ moving from an aux input to a usb or even bluetooth input with an AptX capable headunit. You should be able to notice the difference with the current headunit you have by just using usb instead of aux. FLAC and lossless really don't take up that much space when you consider the fact that you can buy a 200gb+ microSD card for less than $50. If you want improved convenience look at an AptX headunit and just use bluetooth off your phone. No need for cables, and no loss of SQ (actually an improvement over aux) which is nice. IIRC the S8 (not sure about the S8+) has AptX just not AptX low latency which you don't need. Dolby atmos is useless in this case, leave everything flat and make adjustments on the headunit EQ if you need to make adjustments. You have an external SD card slot, take advantage of it. iPhone's and some of the newer galaxy phones don't even have a microSD card slot which is a huge disappointment. I have over 500gb of storage on my Note 9 and I barely use any of it lol I stream FLAC/Lossless over bluetooth with tidal, but I have decent cell service and unlimited data. For around $200 you can have an AptX capable headunit and a 256gb microSD card. It's up to you. [/QUOTE]
