Question for the OP; Are you going to play CDs in the vehicle or something that you downloaded to a flash drive using your computer? If so, you might not get the full sound effect, as I recall there is some compression normally done of the source material. (If I'm wrong here, please correct me.) I find classical music CDs (yes,'old' technology nowadays according to a younger crowd) especially stuff recorded when digital CDs were a newer medium, can have really large sonic ranges, both in volume and frequency. If I were going to check a sound system, I'd grab among others: 1. The finale to Act 1 of "Turandot", on the Deutsche Grammaphone label, HvK conducting the Vienna Phil. Just amazing WALL of sound! 2. For something slightly more contemporary, the "Die Another Day" James Bond film soundtrack; tracks 1-6 really made me appreciate that high end sound system BMW put in their Z4s! 3. For some well recorded digitally and played Jazz, the "Bullitt" score by Lalo Schifrin, as done by the WDR Big Band. | |||

The music service Tidal offers lower compression audio files, so if you have decent cell service in your area that is a good option. A couple of test tracks by ELO - "Rockaria" or "Roll Over Beethoven." | |||

Well, for what it's worth... (don't laugh) My 1989 Ford Taurus came with a demo cassette to highlight the 'premium' sound system. Very little of that car or it's sound system were what I would label premium, but to this day, I remember two songs from the cassette that really impressed me with their audio quality.

Justice - A Cross the Universe. Buy the CD, insert. Turn it up loud. That album will rock that fucking system’s ass off and rattle your teeth. Be advised: you will speed and break the law if driving. What am I doing? I'm talking to an empty telephone | |||

For the true audio test I will be using a physical disc or a FLAC (lossless audio file).
I had a Tidal subscription for awhile as they touted themselves as being the highest quality streaming service There streams weren’t anything to write home about and their library was not very good. Though it has been a few years so that could have changed. ———————————————— The world's not perfect, but it's not that bad. If we got each other, and that's all we have.

HA I know exactly what you are talking about. My Grandparents bought a top of the line 1992 Mercury Topaz to tow behind their motorhome and it came with that cassette we had a 1992 Taurus Wagon when I was learning to drive. It was a demo and LOADED leather power seats that moved a bizillion different directions, turn illuminators in the bumper that kit up when you turned the signal on to light where you were turning, keyless entry number pad on the door, keyless entry remote, and a DOUBLE DIN stereo setup with cassette and CD player with some an equalizer, and a bunch of speakers. Never seen such things in anything but a Cadillac at the time. The Taurus had the demo CD!!!! As soon as I read your post I remembered the Tuba album art or maybe it’s a Saxophone. I remember some brass instrument.

I've only been using Tidal for about a month. I've been able to find all the tracks I've searched for. Sound quality (2021+ Tesla Model S) is noticeably better than Spotify. Not FLAC though. They do offer a higher level of service that I did not subscribe to. | |||
