Sorry to be late to the party, but I just had to post after taking delivery of my 2nd generation to R1S yesterday. Previously, I had a generation one R1T with the Meridian audio that I sold back two months back right before I sold my R1 T I had downloaded the Apple Music and was blown away by the sound quality in Dolby Atmos. However, I was aware that the non-Atmos track sounded off, especially with regards to volume inconsistency’s. Fast forward to yesterday taking delivery of my generation two R1 S with premium audio and I’m beyond disappointed with how the stereo sounds, but I do have hope! because I think I have identified that it is an issue squarely with the Apple Music app versus being a quality issue with the non-Meridian audio system. Like you all have mentioned the sound is extremely hollow and doesn’t even come close to sounding like a premium audio system in a vehicle. I noticed tonight while playing a song that I play on repeat that they were parts of the song that were missing. I thought I was going crazy until I decided to play the same song on the Apple Music app connected through Bluetooth, which didn’t sound great, but the missing channels were there. I went back to listening on the native system and there it was clearly this is an issue with the app. I hope Rivian is listening to everyone here as the vehicle is exceptional but this audio experience is far from that. I’m confident that they will get this resolved.
