[@constantincebuc229]

7 months later and Spotify still doesn't have lossless, Apple did a great job, if you have a good DAC and a good pair of headphones you will be good to go. Also good taste of music.

[@shq_main2853]

Spotify messed up when they decided to charge extra for their lossless. When Apple’s came free of charge, Spotify went silent.

[@7H07sAndH03s]

Taste is personal. If you have a nice dac and a good pair of cans, youre good. Who cares if its metal or jazz or classical

[@kabokasajmer9696]

Should I use wired headphones for lossless music?

[@Jacob1451_Kapnobatai]

​@kabokasajmer9696 from what I've researched, yes. Wired connection gives better data latency and better overall connection. Also be aware of your headphone/earbud impedence rating for compatibility between devices.

[@RandySpeer]

@@kabokasajmer9696not only recommended, but required. Bluetooth isn’t capable of transmitting the lossless codec to wireless headphones. Only AAC which is a lossy format. If you want lossless on headphones, you will NEED a usb c Dac with wired phones attached.

[@prxda]

this is a huge step for the entire music industry , the industry is gonna have a lot more power and influence once this fully rolls out to spotify and everything

[@GCW123]

This is helpful, thank you. I think one of the reasons things are different with Mac OSX is that Macs are often used not just for playback but recording and for this, one always sets the sample rate on the external DAC, which then instructs the DAW. This is because it's by no means a given that one wants to record at the highest possible sample rate.

[@NolanTheEpic]

Thanks for the how to! I have been wondering how to turn it on. I needed to go into the Audio Quality setting, that is what I missed the first few times haha, once more thanks. :) I'm no audiophile (even thought I REALLY wish I was) but I like to have the best audio quality I can get my hands on. lol

Hi, I am running Mojave (10.14.6) on a mid-2015 MacBook Pro. I also am still using an iPhone 6S running iOS 15.4.1. I do not have any other Apple devices like an iPad. I recently started updating my iTunes music and did not realize that when I was in iTunes and clicked on "Library" --> "Organize Library" that I was presented with 2 choices ("Consolidate files" and Reorganize files in the folder 'iTunes Music'." In my effort to organize my music on my MacBook Pro in the folder structure by "Artist", I didn't realize that iTunes doesn't organize the folders in reverse. In other words, the only way to structure the music in my iTunes "Music" folder is directly through iTunes and clicking on both "Album Info" and "Song Info". Modifications to the iTunes database including deleting an album and/or a song from the iTunes library (and also from the iTunes "Music" folder" into the Trash) are therefore as best I can tell are one-way only, and that being only through iTunes. If I'm the last to realize this, I am not surprised.

[@azlansharom7011]

Thanks for this video. Really helpful! Question; if I AirPlay (1) music from my iOS device to my Apple TV gen3, which links via optical to a DAC (then to amp and speakers), would I be able to get lossless output? Thank You.

Sadly I read that you might need TVOS14.6 minimum to enable lossless music on Apple TV 😢

[@lebohang8405]

I've been chrome casting Apple music to my Xiaomi android tv box from my android phone. Magic!!

[@javtimestwo]

This is a fantastic video. I am a newbie and trying to learn more about Apple Music with my iPhone 13 and sound quality. I mostly use my PowerBeats Pro, which I know are capable of Spatial Audio and I also use the standard Apple Earbuds with the lightning connector. From what I can tell and correct me if I am wrong, with the standard Earbuds from Apple, the best quality sound I can hear is lossless. If songs are available in hi-res, I still cannot enjoy that sound quality with the earbuds. I think the same goes for the PowerBeats Pro, yes? 🤔

[@AudioFixation]

Yes, the earbuds DAC will do up to 24bit/48KHz but the Powerbeats pro will only work via aac code so you are not getting lossless via Bluetooth.

[@javtimestwo]

@@AudioFixation Based on this video I went searching for accessories and I found my Belkin 3.5mm iPhone Aux Adapter Features a DAC so I'll try the AUX port with my Apple earbuds and check out the audio quality.

[@HighwayRamos]

A couple of very good budget friendly options are Sennheiser/Massdrop HD6XX's or HiFiMan HE-400SE's. To get the most from these it's best to use a headphone amp.

[@thelawman4684]

Hi, thanks for the great vids! I've seen a lot of vids saying that using a computer as a streamer introduces a lot of noise to the digital out signal, which apparently seriously compromises the sound quality. Do you have any opinions as to which of an iPad, iPhone, iMac or Mac Mini will give the best, cleanest digital signal to an external DAC. I realise that this probably makes little difference when listening through headphones, but I am connecting my DAC to an 80 watt amp to drive floor-standing speakers.

[@raymonddsouza8948]

I'm not sure about that. If you are using an external DAC, the computer should simply be streaming the digital data of the song, unadulterated from the servers holding the stored copy of the song, and all the processing happens in the DAC. Noise should only be an issue once the signal switches over to the analogue form, i.e. within the DAC. If you used the computer's built-in internal DAC, THEN noise from the other computer's components can be an issue. Please correct me anyone if I am mistaken in saying this.

[@michaelkhalsa]

I believe what you are referring to is noisy power over the usb port, where noise in the power is affecting the analog output within the dac after converted. The digital signal between the computer and the dac itself is not affected. Some usb powered dacs have filtering on the power to clean it up, or isolate it. If affected, you can also try plugging into a different usb port.

Hi, I am a happy Apple Music user, with a good pair of IEM (Thieaudio Monarch MKII) and a couple of decent DAC/AMPs (Hidizs S9 Pro, Fiio Q3).

Do you have any suggestions? Thank you

[@manikdesilva1]

Man I can hug you! I was messing around with my BTR5 and Apple Music trying to Figure out all this and now I know how. Btw, I also noticed the headphone matters a lot.

[@lucasrem1870]

Garl Gamp 237 doom It only does 2 channels!!

[@jonastrotech]

One more thing. If you connect any adaptor to your iPhone or iPad , the quality of the Audio depends on the DAC (Digital to Analog convertor) Instead of any Adaptor, if you have any home theatre decoder like the ones from Yamaha, Denon, Bose, Onkyo etc ... almost all of them have a port for iPod or iphone connectivity. That's the pure digital input. You will be passing the actual digital steam directly into the decoder. These high end decoder will have very very good quality DACs like the 'Ti Burr Brown' capable of 192Hz 24bit audio. Now start playing and you should actually get the perfect stereo how the music producer intended along with fidelity. These decoders also have inbuilt upmixing two channel stereo into 5.1 Dolby Pro logic, 5.1 DTS Neo or if more than 7 speakers, then converts to Dolby Atmos

[@vmm132]

It's on Android now. I've been using it on my S21 ultra with the Sony xm4. Funny thing is I've been having Dolby Atmos before Apple supported it on the music app so the quality difference hasn't been as noticeable as it would be for an apple device.

[@samuelmanny6231]

Spatial audio is a special type of Dolby atmos. Search ''spatial audio CNET'' and ''lewlaterclips spatial audio''

[@parthoomphy7214]

Are you using xm4 connected wired in a dac on your S21U? Because it’ll not support ho res lossless via Bluetooth I suppose. Do tell about your setup. I have the same s21U and xm4 and want to enjoy hi res apple music using BTR5.

[@lumberjack674]

Wow thanks. This answer my question, because I am planning to buy the Fiio BTR5 for my IPad pro 2020. It's sad that Apple music on my LG V50 doesn't have lossless and I am not sure when or if they will update it.

[@KahalaBurger]

This was really helpful information. Can an Earmen Sparrow connect with an iPhone, iPad and/or Mac?

[@Detailguy101]

You always give great audio advice! The thing I dont understand is, they say listening to hi res or even lossless eats up alot of your data. The thing is when im walking I listen to my music offline. So how can lossless or hi res eat up data? Unless you can only stream lossless through wifi? If that makes sense?

[@EliasTheHunter]

It will only use data if you’re streaming from your data plan. No issues if you’re streaming via wifi or listening to local media (downloaded) while offline.

[@NoahBershatsky]

You can’t out of any AirPods. It’s a technology limitation. You need to go wired.

[@stevel4329]

But you can stream Lossless over Bluetooth now with AptX HD, AptX Adaptive as long as everything your using has the capability. Since no apple device can do this you would need to leave the cult apple and venture out on your own with a Hi-Res Audio player from Sony, Hiby, Fiio etc... Then you must have headphones wirelessly capable of receiving the signal like Bowers & Wilkins PI7 in ear headphones. Not sure why apple and others confuse this but at least they are not charging more for it and maybe that's because none of their headphones to date can handle the higher bit rate!

[@stevel4329]

@E. O. True! They have not figured out how to stream the full width. There are adapters for MQA but there you go again, the end point needs to have a MQA unfolder or the main device does like the New Hiby R6 with it's list of Codecs and 16X unfolding. But while listening to MQA on Tidal I am only getting Apt X connection with the Hiby. So what exactly am I getting here. Tidal staes Master but what is it? I know I am loosing something but these headphones are simply stupid good! Then switching to a downloaded track on Hiby memory I know i am getting CD quality as it states 44.1khz/16bit/1490kbps

[@AudioFixation]

Yes, the mac irritatingly doesn’t switch sample rates automatically regardless of whatever dac you are using

[@BrentLeVasseur]

If you want to get the full extent of the lossless streaming on your iPad I strongly suggest you get a dongle DAC like the THX Onyx and a great pair of headphones like the Hifiman Sundara planar magnetics. That’s what I use with my iPad and it’s awesome. The built in DAC in the iPad sucks. So listening with wired headphones without an external DAC like the THX Onyx is a total waste as you won’t hear the detail you are getting in the lossless stream.

[@BrentLeVasseur]

@@HandM80 True. I have the older iPad Pro that does have a headphone jack and the newer one that doesn’t. In both cases a dongle DAC like the THX Onyx makes a huge difference. In the latter case the headphones have the DAC built in and in all cases those internal DACs suck compared to the THX Onyx and a wired pair of Hifiman Sundaras. And to really hear the difference between lossy and lossless you NEED the dongle DAC with wired headphones as the internal DACs on wireless headphones are not discerning enough to render the difference in sound quality between the two formats.

[@dailylifevlogs6395]

[@dry509]

When I look at Apple Music in settings on my iPad 9th gen I do not see all those settings? I am not signed in yet. Do I need to be signed in?

[@RAYDTV]

With this logic, does that mean if I attach a dongle from my iPhone to an aux chord, then straight into my Edifier speakers, would I get lossless audio? I’m trying to find a way to use those speakers to take advantage of Apple Music’s new upgrades

According to Apple support on lossless apple music You can also use lossless on your ATV4K albeit only cd quality plus a bit via hdmi (aptv3?) and a receiver or maybe one of those NAIM or similar with HDMI i don’t know what the I2s connection or even a cheap hdmi audio extractor can do. I’m not an apple music user and was very cross when itunes didnt sell cd level music and Google stopped and Amazon made it conditional on buying physical media so now i hope Qobuz or Zdigital or HD Tracks survives coz otherwise it’s a dog’s breakfast to find my digital copies (or your word “chunes”).

Hi, I am asking for advice on what is the best format to import my music that is mostly on CDs back into iTunes. In my recent effort to update my iTunes Music folder by organizing all my music by artist, I didn't realize that the song metadata that wasn't consistent in iTunes completely disorganized my efforts when I clicked on both "Consolidate" and "Reorganize" my files. In reviewing my Apple Music folder with all my songs on it, I realized that I had most of my files either in "MP3 audio" some in "AIFF-C audio" and others in "Apple MPEG-4 audio" and even some as "QuickTime movie" files (which I can't figure out how these got in their as audio files). My goal is to get every audio file newly entered into iTunes under the best possible resolution so that (1) my audio collection is including 100% of all my available audio files, (2) these audio files are organized in the best way that suits my need (by artist or author), and (3) it has best possible audio quality that can run on both my mid-2015 MacBook Pro running Mojave (running 10.14.6) and an iPhone 6S (running iOS 15.4.1). I don't plan to upgrade either for the immediate future. I do not have any other Apple devices like an iPad. As I stated above, I recently started updating my iTunes music and did not realize that when I was in iTunes and clicked on "Library" --> "Organize Library" that I was presented with 2 choices ("Consolidate files" and Reorganize files in the folder 'iTunes Music'." In my effort to organize my music on my MacBook Pro in the folder structure by "Artist", I didn't realize that iTunes doesn't organize the folders in reverse.

If I'm the last to realize this, I am not surprised. Before I import close to 4000 songs on several hundred CDs and other sources into my iTunes, I would like to start from the beginning so that when I next synchronize my iPhone 6S with my Macbook Pro that the library will be correct across both and that the sound files on my iPhone 6S will be at their best playable level. Thanks for your help.

[@yotrilogy5556]

Bluetooth cannot portray lossless. It's just a compressed audio quality if you play over Bluetooth. But when you play using the provided wired cable, it's a different ball game.

@@AudioFixation no way! I’m assuming they (Apple) will be fixing this issue asap if the whole idea is to dominate the music streaming market but you’d think they’d have done it ahead of the launch of lossless.I’ve been days trolling the net for information on it all.was totally confused as to why my ifi zen dac was sticking on one colour when trying out different audio formats.now I know 😩

AirPods Max with lightening/phone plug cable connection to MacBook Air plays Apple Music 24-bit 192 kHz ALAC just fine.

@@daveryandub wow! I just got a new DAC to discover resampling issue, this is so annoying! I guess mac hasn’t prioritized this almost a year later?

[@daveryandub]

@@benstiller9578 still no fix from Ben.there is a free app for iMac that will do the auto sample switch …I gave in and bought an iPad recently 🤦‍♂️ great for streaming music but I shouldn’t of had to

[@kennethkoa5386]

If I’m going to listen on my ipad/iphone then I want to output it on an av receiver with the option high-lossless audio, how will I do this? Thanks.

You need a connector, and a hi-res capable DAC such as the BTR5 shown in the video.
