Can you tell the difference in sound quality between streaming on Tidal, Spotify, Iheartradio, or Tunein?
 
I'm hoping it depends upon whether I'm listening to music recorded using Dolby Atmos or ?? I know with Apple Music and "streaming" Dolby Atmos songs via Wi-Fi from my computer to my home audio system I can hear more clarity and all around sound differentiation for the Dolby Atmos recordings and I'm hoping that will be the case when I finally get my Dream Edition. Initially I'll be using Bluetooth to "send" my Dolby Atmos Apple Music recordings (not "Spatial Audio") from my iPhone to the car, but I'm hoping eventually I'll be able to have a direct connection from the iPhone via USB or else have Apple CarPlay and "stream" directly to the car via Wi-Fi.

I can, yes. Particularly with Atmos-encoded content via Tidal.
 
In general my ears are sensitive to compression. I don't use any of the above sources but will apparently have to choose one when I get my AGT. My thoughts are with the lack of engine noise a difference should be recognizable.

I wonder if the Philips Golden Ears website is still up?
 
Do we know if SiriusXM has an app that's gonna be added in the future? I like them but I wonder how that audio will sound in the AGT

Could stream Sirius through your phone via BT right now if you want

Its an unknown since its being stated that there is no antenna installed.
 
Doesn't SIriusXM have an iPhone/Android app? Potentially when they release CarPlay or Android Auto.

Yes they certainly do so. I use it that way quite a bit through Android Auto. Problem is where you don't get signal, that's where the antenna works everywhere. That would be only if the car had the native app
