Good sounding head unit / NAV for car?


My factory NAV is starting to have issues (it is 4 years old now) and I was thinking about a new unit with and external amp and sub.  I like the Pioneer Stage 4  P99RS but I have an issue with it not having built in Bluetooth for streaming Tidal.  I really like the AKM dacs it uses and the DSP, but BT is a big factor for me in convenience - mostly all my newer music is on Tidal.  The P99RS is a few years old and it had a BT interface box but they are difficult to find and only on the used market.  Since I am willing to spend, I'd rather get something newer, is easy to setup, and has all the features.  Are there any NAV or non-NAV units available that have more than decent quality of sound - something that stands out?

I have a Kenwood Excelon DVD/Garmin NAV unit that I've had for a couple of years now. I do like the sound a lot and am able to play up to 24/192 FLAC files as well. The 13 band EQ also allowed me to tame a big 60Hz hump in my bass. I'd highly recommend it.
