This app will play lossless audio through CarPlay.
So if you really want that pure sound you could always rip your CDs and use an app.
Yes, ripping isn’t fun but you only need to do it once.

Alternatively you can stream music with CarPlay via Spotify or Apple Music. If I’m not mistaken both will be CD-quality at least. Bluetooth will sacrifice sound quality. But not a wired usb connection.

2018 S560 and 2019 E450 Wagon.
From what I understand in using a iPhone you really need some kind adapter to play higher end streams because the lightening connector bypasses the D to A converter.

Regardless, if you want lossless then play directly from the phone instead of streaming.
streaming has compression.
I think Spotify is working on a high quality stream like tidal.
Half the people on this E class sub forum probably have some form of hearing loss anyway so what’s the difference lol
playing into the stereotype 😆

just looking
Personally I believe CD's sound better, but then you are riding around in a car so not sure it makes a difference. In fact, I downloaded over 1,000 songs from CD's into my 2010 E350's hard drive. Would like to be able to do that in the future.
I do download CD's through computers into a USB for my wife to play in her Nissan Rogue home remodeling issaquah wa. She finds it more convenient than the single CD player. Recording from a CD through a computer to a USB and then to the hard drive in the car sounds like a lot of "stepping on" as they used to say. Each recording will degrade the music to some extent.
As for the appearance, tried to find a picture of a 2010 E350, Luxury version. Attached a picture of 2011 Sport version. Luxury has one more bar in the grille. My basic problem with the new E is the grille and the huge intakes on either side of the lower grille. To me, just does not have that luxury sedan look.
