DAC for a car

Hey I recently bought the Hertz mille 1650 component set and the Hertz mille 165.3 6x9s and the Hertz HDP 4 4way amp. I still don't like the sound quality coming from my speakers though, it's not perfect like my HD 700s headphones. So I thought, well maybe it's because it's coming out of my phone as the source, even though I'm using Tidal as a lossless playback. Anyways, I was looking around and I don't know what would be a good dac to get for my car? Does anyone know anything about car DACs? Should I get a processor, a portable amp/dac, a portable hifi music player (don't want because couldn't use tidal or spotify)?

No, that won't be the problem.

The problem is you won't get something like hd700 without a lot of money, and probably won't get the same subs signiture

the main problem is it being a car and less about the audio quality unless there is like a noise in the audio.

The Dick of the audio page!
