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.

[@dhruvjadhav139]

hate to spoil your experience but if you have a newer gen apple product, airplay will always switch to aac the compressed format older gen ios devices use airplay 1 which can only airplay upto 16bit 44.1khz which is cd quality hard to explain in a comment so i will link a video down for you as you are using the mania you will not notice the difference as such but if you decide to switch to a proper hifi system the airplay difference is quite significant kzbin.info/www/bejne/iquXmJ6lqMaFY8Usi=lJSf5fC8O2NByDnr

[@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...

[@nicolas9793]

Hello, good video. However, I had a question about AirPlay 2. On the internet everyone says that Apple Music in ALAC is converted to AAC if the receiver is AirPlay 2. On the other hand, for an AirPlay 1 receiver it is ALAC. Thank you in advance for your help. Small additional clarification, my iPhone is set in Lossless and ALAC up to 192 kHz for cellular and wi-fi playback, as well as the download would I have lacquer on arrival on an AirPlay 2 speaker or my music will be converted to AAC.

AptX Lossless has finally achieved what the world believed impossible, but as John Darko points out, is it really worth it ? Between Snapdragon Elite X laptops and the high-end Android phones that support the latest Snapdragon chipset, things get expensive very quickly - at least that's my two cents worth.

What do you mean by impossible? LDAC has been around for longer and supports 32bit/96Hz lossless audio, so it's significantly better.

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]

@@CrAstrum 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?

[@CrAstrum]

@@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.

funniest thing is not even apple users can listen to lossless only androids can as iPhones don't support any form of lossless codec like LDAC or LHDC.
