Good grief! This message had more tails than message text! I cut 'em all off. LOL. And I thought email clients were supposed to do that automatically. Seems most never do. Double LOL! Why does Apple offer only Airplay? Probably because it's their product, their patent, their trademarked

Interesting reading. And btw, the limitations for streaming lossless with Airplay and Apple Music, lie with Apple Music in this case. Airplay is able to stream lossless audio, to a certain degree of course, but Apple Music doesn’t support it (yet). Very weird. Hopefully the Apple Music app will

Hi Ronald, You’re most welcome. Yes, modifying the decoder within the AirPlay or AirPlay 2 protocol would be a great solution. It would be interesting if Apple made the Apple Music app available to be installed on sound systems in the way that they made Apple TV installable on some smart

Hi Tim, Many thanks for all your information, really appreciate it! So I have to run the Apple Music app on Apple TV 4k and send the audio through a hdmi cable to the audio device. That figures, it is a bit cumbersome to have to do it this way though. There’s hope that Apple will fix this

Hi, The Apple TV has to be the device sending the music to the receiver. If you AirPlay from your iPhone to the Apple TV, then it is the iPhone that is in control, and thus you are essentially using AirPlay to deal with the music, and AirPlay which then limits the bandwidth. The Apple TV 4K

Hi Tim, Thanks. That was something where I feared for. I honestly don’t know if the music system which I am interested in has any hdmi ports, but even if it does and I get an Apple TV 4k for this, how do I control Apple Music? From the Apple TV or from my iPhone too? The latter is my preferred

Hi Ronald, According to this post: 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

hello, You are probably right there Tim, in being the track your are playing should be in lossless if you have this setting enabled. The problem is not every track is available in lossless yet, about 20 million Apple says. And by the end of the year they should all be. I want to be absolutely

Hi, As far as I can tell, if you’re listening to the Apple Music version of a title, it will be lossless if you’ve set your device to play lossless. There are other considerations as well. See this article: https://support.apple.com/en-us/HT212183 Also, for an interesting read on the whole
