90% I stream Bluetooth to android auto. So it's not lossless. But the difference is night and day between sound quality and output. I don't even use Spotify anymore. I'd cancel it if my son didn't like it so much. I've been trying to have him switch but like you he said it has a better auto play feature. If you set your gains to compensate the lack of output on Spotify then stream Apple you'll be running into clipping.

I set gains with the downloaded kicker files via Bluetooth. I think it's a happy middle.

If it’s wireless android auto it’s Wi-Fi as far as I know if CarPlay is anything to go by… if not it’s another silly box to not have ticked for android with regard to audio 😢 I don’t get why they have the most customisable gui, but they can’t get stuff right like playing the sample rate of whatever you playback and not 48khz because it’s ‘better’ somehow ☹

Yeah I have both Spotify and Apple Music. I just switched to Spotify because their auto play feature and “For you” playlists are better. If I used Apple Music I’d be able to use lossless music right? It’s been a minute.

Yes as long as it’s not an android phone

Apple on apple is lossless cd quality or better for everything… android resamples it to 48khz unless you have something like a fiio or similar with a heavily rewritten operating system with resampling bypassed 👍🏼
