Music, etc....
Just got to thinking that the 18 E43 I bought doesn't have a CD slot (I don't think). So that leaves me with TR radio, Internet radio, Sat and....there's my question.
What are you guys doing to listen/? I assume out of your phone? What's your primary site for ripping/burning? I am an android guy with a Note 21, can you point me to some YouTube video or something so that I"m not too stooppid? Yes, I will RTFM but the car's not here yet. Trying to get educated before then. It has the $6500 Burmeister option, so audio quality is meaningful to me.....
Thanks if you can help.. Boy am I old!..

First of all the Burmeister is my absolute favorite option on my E63. AMAZING sound quality. I bought the biggest SD card I could find, got a cheap SD card reader/writer for my PC and threw a few hundred gigs of lossless tunes and everything else I could come up with. You will find the SD slot in your center armrest. I also use my iphone via USB and it sounds great.

I must be doing something wrong. I've downloaded music on a thumb drive and bluetooth via an android phone for my E63. Everything plays on the system without issue, but I don't find the sound quality to be as sharp or pleasing as the Harmon Kardon systems in our SL550 and GL450. Yesterday I monkied around with settings for the equalizer, fader, base, mid and treble yet nothing seemed to do the trick. Has anyone elde compared the sound from the two systems?

320 kpbs. I used sidify for the download and they claim it's lossless. That is what made me wonder about the Burmester sound quality.

I've put the thumb drive in my GL450 and I have to say it definitely sounds better on the Harmon Kardon than the Burmester in the E63s. Maybe I just haven't figured out the correct combination of settings yet.

On the equalizeer I've bumped the bass to 7, mid to 4 and treble to 6. It is on surround and emphasis for all seats. Can't remember if there was any other changes.

My settings are bass 6, mid 2, treble 4, surround and emphasis on front seats. Changing to all seats seems to mute the middle range a bit.

Thanks. I will give that a try. It's probably a bad idea to try and compare sound from different vehicles and systems. My hearing does have some issues with loss in certain tones and maybe that has something to do with it. There is just a real noticeable difference between the Harmon Kardon and Burmester to my ear. Not that the Burmester is poor quality, just seems sub standard when compared to out two other MB's.

The Harmon Kardon system has Logic 7 for surround enhancement. The Burmester system has a different surround algorithm. I measured the frequency response on the system in my wagon with my equalizer settings and found it basically flat in the midrange, +6 db in the bass, flat in the high end. Setting the surround algorithm to Pure enhanced the midrange a bit without any change to the equalizer settings. You might try the pure setting and see if it is more to your liking.

Might be off-topic from original thread, but has anyone else noticed sound quality degradation when using Android Auto vs. the factory Bluetooth connection?
Spotify on AA and Spotify direct to COMAND sound dramatically different on my 2018 E63 S with the Burmester option.

3d...I have it..
I have the 3d, and I cannot believe they can get away with 6500 upcharge on this. They should be ashamed of themselves...

Don't feel left out, as there are no wagons with 3D sound. We lack the rear shelf behind the back seats, so we can't get to the required speaker count.
Audio threads always risk apples/oranges comparisons...there are two sound systems for the E63 cars, Burmester and 3D.
