Android Auto DAC Sound Quality and 8.4

[AppleJacks23]

Has anyone found a good solution to play music with native Android Auto apps (Tidal, TuneIn) without running them through USB Audio Player Pro? I understand the Samsung s10 and s20 passes an uncompressed, unprocessed signal, but I can seem to find a good way to not make it sound flat, quiet, and tinny. The EQ for my jeep doesnt seem to work with AA. The difference between Tidal in Bluetooth and AA is night and day, but I prefer to keep AA for Google maps and other integration. USB audio player helps but the interface is clunky and doesnt allow for access to downloaded Tidal tracks., plus the FM stream isn't as useful as TuneIn. Thanks in advance!

I use the Musicolet app on my Note 10+, which has a proper EQ and other options to enhance the sound. RocketPlayer is another great app that gives you more control over the sound. Regardless, there's only so much you can do to make any of the factory Jeep systems sound good, even the Alpine one.
