So, streaming music from Apple Music to an Airplay 2 device such as the MuSo 2 seems to result in only lossy 256 AAC… bit of a bummer. Is this a bug Apple will likely fix, or is it a bandwidth thing and as such a “feature” to facilitate multi room audio?
Honestly can’t hear a difference between 256 AAC and hi-res via Tidal Connect, but still, something irks me about being told by the app music is playing lossless music while it’s being compressed.
My DAC also reports 44.1/16 when using Airplay 2. My understanding is that 44.1/16 is the definition of lossless, any thing higher is defined as high res.
