2014 E 350 HK audio system question

Hi All,
Looking to purchase a 2014 e-350 and had a few questions regarding the audio system.
Lets say a drop in a Dvd concert video containing a DTS 5.1 mix. In park the concert will pop on the screen correct? In drive will the video fade and will the audio still be available?
It will only play MP3 files from the USB correct?
Will it play Hi-rez files from the internal hard drive? How large is the drive? If so is it possible to copy the files from a USB?
Little disappointing in hearing the reviews of the system. I am sure I can live with it for a while stock and upgrade as time allows.
Thanks for everyone's time,
Russ

Update

Update. Added a sub ( Memphis 10 inch 610/d4) and a JL audio XD1000/ 1v2 amp. Sealed box pushing bass thru the rear seat pass thru. Looks and sounds phenomenal. The folks at Soundwaves in Clinton twp. Mi. did a beautiful job.
Installed DVD in Motion so I can use the GPS and play DVD concert videos while on the go.
I still do not have the control over the system as I would like. The subwoofer has a remote level control so you can adjust the output but would like to have a little more control over the component door speakers. An Audison system would be nice but very expensive( 4-5K) and you would lose your ability to decode Dolby Digital and DTS soundtracks.
MB upgraded the hard drive to 10 gig while not real large, still nice playing downloaded Hi-rez 2 channel files.
Having the car detailed with C quartz next week so should be done for awhile!!
Good luck everyone,
Russ
