if you have android, just stream it in wav format or use a low profile usb stick. i use a usb hub that allows me to add 4 usb drives to my truck. two is for my music, one is for test music and the 4th is for my kids music. all in wav format

I can't seem to find any cables ,that will. send audio from 3.5 mm jack aka my hi res player , to usb , aka raptor input , they all seem to be usb-c to 3.5 mm ,not sure I can reverse the last cable ,I mentioned , meaning the audio can run in either direction , so I could go 3.5 to usb-c ,then get a usb-c to USB adapter . I don't have an android phone ,I have I phone ,it can't do hi res audio . been slowly upgrading the whole system , speakers , amps , subs ,just trying to feed it a good source

The point of using a Digital Audio Player in a car is to bypass the oem system to get the best sound possible. Go digital or analog out of it directly into your DSP with it. Use the DSP/s controller to control volume. Using this into the factory system, aux, USB, or Bluetooth completely defeats its purpose. At that point, just use your phone with a streaming service.

I use Tidal and their HiFi is pretty good. I drive several vehicles, so it's handy. In the Raptor I can take advantage of the HiFi and it makes a big difference from standard or even their master stream.

I have Tidal and Spotify. Tidal is clearer then Spotify with the high res on my iPhone.
