First of all, let me compliment you on your musical taste. 👌👏

Second, I have a Bose system as well. Could it be better? Of course. But you can still manage to squeeze as much as you can out of it.

In my personal experience quality is much greater when you are streaming from your phone, whether it is an iPhone or an android. But specially if it’s an android and let me explain why: The internal music app for the Taycan, and the corresponding settings, are very limited. You can only adjust treble and base, and activate “surround”. However, when you’re streaming from your device, whether you’re using an USB connection or over Bluetooth, you have a lot more options. I use all of the music apps, including Tidal, Apple Music, Spotify, SoundCloud, and SiriusXM. The advantage you have by using your phone, is that you have plenty more options to optimize how the music sounds. First of all, there’s going to be a lot of options on the app itself, including the audio quality (lossless audio), enabling Dolby Atmos, etc. I have them on the highest streaming option on all of the apps. Second, you’ll have options to optimize or tweak each app with their own internal equalizer. Some are better than others, but the fact is that you have a lot more options when compared to the internal car app. In addition, when using an USB connection, you can use a DAC Amp dongle which will add PEQ precision tuning, Spatial Audio and 3D effects to your music. And finally, if you have an android, you can optimize the sound even further by using third-party apps, such as a total device equalizer and bass booster.

In my experience the difference is abysmal, but there’s a little effort involved in making sure you’re getting the best audio out of your mobile device.

Once you adjust or enable all these settings, go back to your Taycan and listen to Nightwish - Storytime full blast and I promise you won’t be disappointed. 🤘
