S22+ Lack of HiFi sound Android Auto

[Antson]

I bought Samsung for getting the top performance and flagship system. But I'm not getting the flagshi feeling here. There are many issues including battery life/heating/non smooth UI etc. 

But for me being a music lover, the biggest downside is lack hi fi capabilities when playing music through Android Auto and Bluetooth as I spend most of my time on road.

Surprised to find that the output on such a flagship is restricted to 16bit. Whereas all medium level phone like OnePlus 9rt gives 24bit output through Bluetooth and Android auto.

Can this be corrected via software update or hardware is not capable.

Which Bluetooth headset do you use. I use buds pro sound is top-notch. Most of the time I use buds pro. It's the best.

I'm sensitive to quality of music. Do you listen to hires music with players like neutron mp or Poweramp with hires configured. There is a huge difference in quality of music played using these players vs Spotify or in-built music app. These players can also give technical details of what kind of processing is done and bit rate the output is made. I felt the difference when I shifted from OnePlus 9rt which has an in-built dac to s22+. So when I went deep by using the above mentioned apps, understood the difference as I've mentioned in my post. Pls note that OP 9rt is much cheaper device.
