DSF files, Tesla Media Player

[depechefan]

Hi,
Not sure if this is the right place to ask this question but here goes:
Thinking of buying a Tesla Model Y. I have a pretty large collection of music and part of the collection consists of DSF files (some multichannel - sound great). Is it possible to play those files using the built-in media player? (Or some other player). Currently using Android Auto in my VW but I understand that this is not an option in a Tesla...
Thanks in advance

Have you tried to contact Tesla about your question?

Too fiddly for me.
I stream Pandora or Apple Music when I drive. Last thing I’m concerned about in my car is if I’m truly getting lossless quality.

DSF seems pretty niche and I certainly wouldn’t expect it is supported. Perhaps a pleasant surprise for OP if it is.

Quick search brought this up https://www.acrok.com/tesla-usb-supported-audio-formats/ and this https://teslamotorsclub.com/tmc/threads/supported-usb-file-types.208751/

Based on that, the answer to OP - is NO. Tesla's audio system wouldn't play SACD/DSF/DSD files.
The next best thing would be to convert DSF to FLAC. Despite that, some may say you could lose quality, and I'd wager in honesty that in a blind test with a sufficient number of participants, the difference would not be distinguished.

Thanks all. It's what I expected. Just was hoping that I could avoid converting music to play it in my car. Guess I will use Apple Music instead
