I am surprised no one mentions the krell system in the rlx? DTS CD 5.1 playback.

The rlx was on my radar until I swayed my choice to the 19 Lexus ES with mark Levinson. Now I'm going for a 2021 TLX over the ES.

The RLX has the same second generation ELS system in it that the MDX and TL currently have, called the ELS Studio. The original, the ELS Surround system was DVD-Audio Based, the ELS Studio 3D is the USB based 5.1 system.

You can read about the playback details here:
