Audio upgrade on "F-Sport Edition" model
First of all I want to highlight, I own 2020 IS300h F-Sport Edition (it's not full-blown F-Sport, F-Sport Edition was one of last IS models available in Europe). Car is equipped with basic Pioneer audio system. It sounds very bad.
My question is if it's possible to install custom audio with DSP connecting with optical cable (or other digital connection) to car's audio hardware?. I would like to get best possible audio quality after upgrade (having DSP to use it's own DAC to convert digital to analog signal, instead of using analog signal from car).
If it's not possible, then what is the quality of internal DAC in this car? I know that signal might be tuned and improved a bit using DSP, but if it we deal with bad signal then DSP won't make it great anyway.
I'm considering installing Helix V Eight DSP.
Any hints?

the helix dsp as far as I know will clean up the stock signal on the imput stage to give you a clean output. the helix DSP's are some of the best out there, I currently have a dsp pro from them i'm looking to connect to my stock system as well.
