Hi Ronald, According to this post:
https://discussions.apple.com/thread/252848734 <https://discussions.apple.com/thread/252848734> Both AirPlay and AirPlay 2 can actually handle lossless, but for some reason, the AirPlay signal is converted/compressed thus it will not be lossless by the time it reaches your receiver. The best way to get lossless audio as well as Dolby Atmos is to use an Apple TV 4K connected via HDMI to the receiver. If your system supports it, lossless and Dolby Atmos will be passed through to the receiver from the Apple TV 4K using this setup.
