Thanks for the feedback, fellas. Just to be clear, I absolutely can hear a difference. I've got a fairly nice system in the car (It's by Bang & Olufsen), my home system is modestly high-end (Krell preamp, Bryston 4B-ST amp, Martin Logan reQuests) and I have pretty good ears, so there most definitely is a difference in the translation. While I don't expect the staging and dynamic range that I'd get at home, there's a 'puffiness' to the tracks that's annoying in .MP3 that aren't present in FLAC.
That said, I was hoping for something like this: PCP - Mount USB media - Set up a Samba file share - Synch files to drive every night at 3AM - Configure Pi for HDMI output - Connect HDMI to car's USB media port via an adapter cable - *Might 'USB OTG' be any help here? LMS - Set folder to rescan at 4AM - Use 'C3PO' to transcode on-the-fly from MP3 to FLAC - Car 'sees' file system, displays albums on the nav screen - LMS 'sees' request, ques album/track/artist... whatever... and as it streams back to the car, converts .FLAC to... DSD, is it? Anyway, your insight here would be greatly appreciated. I can't believe I'm the only one with such a use case, and if I can get this to work, it'd be a huge help to me and others who have 'legacy' audio equipment in the car that, for whatever reason, just doesn't work with FLAC.
