In this continuing joint work with Benjamin Arras, we explore connections between covariance representations and Stein's method. In particular,  via Stein's kernels we obtain quantitative high-dimensional CLTs in 1-Wasserstein distance when the limiting Gaussian probability measure is anisotropic. The dependency on the parameters is completely explicit and the rates of convergence are sharp.
