In Finland, we have unlimited data with every operator 😊

[@ZotmundSzele]

I didn't know that. Awesome. Is that the law? Are they expensive? Hungarian internet speeds are said to be pretty quick but data plans are sometimes tricky and expensive.

[@pamdooner9922]

lucky you!👌

[@piyusharya3511]

In India too jio's 5G is unlimited

[@roshroy23]

Yeah. We have Jio ISP (and even others with almost same plan) that gives various options. The one I have is around 200 Mbps speed with unlimited data and equivalent of just 12 USD per month.

[@rikkidgermano9640]

Not only in Finnland, Germany as well but it always comes with a higher price.

[@setoth1234]

The beauty of ALAC is that it can also be streamed to AirPlay speakers, such as HomePod, iPod Hi-Fi (via AirPort Express and S/PDIF connection), or Devialet Mania. Please get the Mania and let me know your thoughts on its performance and how BT vs AirPlay change the sound quality, as you can do direct A-B testing from the same device.

[@aaronloudnwireless]

I have reviewed the Mania 😁 kzbin.info/www/bejne/rqTNdYOChriZjK8

[@jayvarsity]

Hopefully the AirPod Max 2’s addresses these issues

Hello aaron when will you review Jabra elite 10 ??

[@rajeshbhardwaj2962]

Hi , iPhone 13 doesn’t have this feature:(

[@onuponedown]

Man, speaking of Bluetooth, your best Option is to get Bluetooth Headphones that Support aptX adaptive and then use your mac or your iPhone (soory you need a 15 for this) and buy an Creative BT-W5 USB-C Bluetooth Dongle which supports aptX adaptive up to 96kHz. This thing costs around 50$ or euros and you can stick this in a iPhone 15 or in your Mac, windows, Playstation, switch or whatever and have the best Audio Quality which is currently possible via Bluetooth. Or else use wired with a dongle DAC for around 200$. Done -> Make a video for this, your subscribers may thank me later...

[@Messup7654]

The person who buys all that just to use it from Apple:🤡

[@Cannot_go_anywhere]

I don’t see that option in settings…

[@joelo5164]

I set Apple Music to 24/48 on my S23U and listen to them over Buds 2 Pro that supports 24/48 and also over Wired and DAC at times..

[@aaronloudnwireless]

Nice 😁

[@SpencersStuff1777]

I run everything over ldac on my xperia. Typically listen to flac files ripped from a cd or 24 bit audio. So much more body and personality. If you haven't heard and gotten used to lossless... Its so worth it. Lossy sounds so dead and less dynamic. Its like the soul was ripped out 😂

[@aaronloudnwireless]

Very nice 😁 cd-rips are a reliable old school source

[@SpencersStuff1777]

Is there a way to automatically refresh your music library to update to the highest resolution, or does it require deleting and re-downloading each song, album, or playlist?

[@aaronloudnwireless]

If the tracks are not Apple Lossless you'll have to redownload them

[@georgelai8748]

[@harikrishnabhat5657]

you need to pay the sub

Will the lossless make a difference in my car sound system? It’s stock with 9 speakers and a sub.

[@onesikm3]

Yes it did make a noticeable difference this week switching from many years of Spotify to Apple Music streaming via kenwood head unit but I plan to go directly to my dsp after I get a dac to toslink 😊

[@bklynrickel]

Thanks for the tip. Works great with my Airpods Pro 2nd generation! :)

[@aaronloudnwireless]

Excellent

[@SalihSaryldz]

Actually it makes zero difference because none of the AirPods support lossless audio over Bluetooth. I’m also an AirPods Pro 2 user and after making so much research, I decided to keep all of my songs in AAC to not waste storage and battery while listening to music. Currently, Apple does not support any kind of Bluetooth lossless codec like LDAC so you can only utilize ALAC if you listen via wired headphones.

[@bberserkerr]

@@SalihSaryldz Hello, can you recommend wired headphones for someone who listens to rap and hip-hop? I also want to ask, does it work with just a cable connection and without using a DAC?

[@SalihSaryldz]

@@bberserkerr Sorry for the late reply and sorry but I don’t have enough knowledge or experience with wired headphones to recommend you one. But about the DAC related question I can give you some tips thanks to my research. I think it depends on the impedance of the headphones. Anything above 32 ohms may be too powerful for the iPhone and too quiet consequently. You may need a DAC if you want to run very powerful headphones. Anything between 16-32 ohms would be okay to use without any DAC to listen to lossless music on iPhone. However, you may need a pair of very high-end headphones with a DAC to utilize the highest quality lossless audio (24-bit/192 kHz) but I think that’s a bit overkill. Normal lossless (24-bit/48 kHz) is the optimal option for the best sound quality and audio file size I think.

[@GQM3Z]

Hi Aaron, in the case of connecting external DAC, are you sure that iPhone 15 Pro outputs ALAC to the USB-C cable? I doubt this because I couldn't find any spec in Apple's official content. thanks in advance

[@AlexMkd1984]

iphone dont support hiress audio some shit audio has

iPhone /ipad Support ALAC . I use a hiby fc3/4 amp/dac on my iPad Pro 12,9 M2 with Meze 109 Pro Headphone ,this is much better than ladac 😂

[@GQM3Z]

Hi@@skyhero1888, do you happen know the audio format into the FC3 (output from your iPad)? I mean, whether it is ALAC or AAC or PCM or any other? thanks in advance.

[@AnonymoX-vm3xd]

Hold on a sec, this only applies if you have Apple Music then? I’m on Tidal, not joined Apple Music and quality under settings / music only shows 2 options AAC low data mode or AAC HQ 256 kbps. So no ALAC nor FLAC options comes up. Meaning Tidal doesn’t get reproduced in higher quality at all with iPhone?

[@shenanvindinu5120]

There’s no point going over 256kbps because apple devices only support AAC codec, Even if your earbuds supported better options

[@AnonymoX-vm3xd]

@@shenanvindinu5120 I hear ya, however just don’t get why the option isn’t there when using other platforms than Apple Music.

[@ZotmundSzele]

What if I jave Android, earbuds with LDAC on and I listen to Apple and chose a lossless track streaming online? Is that lossless then?

[@aaronloudnwireless]

It’s the same as on iPhone

[@ZotmundSzele]

@@aaronloudnwireless So when I see "lossless" is playing I don't actually hear lossless?

[@aaronloudnwireless]

@@ZotmundSzele it is less lossless than on iPhone since you are streaming over LDAC, but it won’t be a stark difference.

Music will sound better on the Sennheiser than the Airpods, but neither will be hi-res compared to wired headphones.

Apple could make it easier to get better sound quality!

[@TheLuis126]

Does it work with AirPods 3rd gen? Thanks so much for your video.

[@siphonsnob]

No. All Bluetooth transmission is lossy. You need to plug an external DAC into your iPhone and use high quality wired earphones or a stereo amp/speakers to get the benefits of ALAC files.

[@skyhero1888]

AAC is million times better on Apple devices than on Android devices. I tested ldac on my xiaomi pad 5 and can’t hear any difference. Headphones,Sony XM4,Philips Fidelio L4 and Sennheiser Momentum 4.
