To clarify, a MOST converter is no amplifier. So any audio improvement over the OEM amp audio quality will be determined mostly by quality of the aftermarket amps and speakers with the converter. What the converter improves is the signal to noise ratio compared with the analog signal output of the iDrive unit. In particular, signal hiss and the low volume ramp up (iDrive volume knob needs to be more than half turned to feel the music) are virtually gone with a digital converter. Signal is cleaner and louder at low volume regardless of the aftermarket amp installed.

I may just need to accept that this system is not going to have the clarity and separation of the B&O in the F10. I mean, a 7.5 or so out of 10 isn't bad for vehicle sound, right? Here's me convincing myself...
