It never will be the ideal environment but might as well get what you can enjoy. Definitely notice differences in high quality stereos in various cars.

Maybe AAC has a better compression algorithm? Of course lossless formats would be best. I assume using the HD will have same quality as long as above formats are preserved.
Quality on satellite radio sucks along with Bluetooth. Maybe apple CarPlay is a little better but doesn't seem much better.

Just subscribed to Spotify premium and the sound is a lot better than Sirius and YouTube streaming
