Hi all.

Noob enjoyer of hifi audio- so I’m aware that using the XM4’s with an iPhone means you can’t take advantage of highres audio properly since Apple hates their customers and is not compatible with LDAC, but I was wondering if there was any adapters that I could use to get the full experience playing out of my phone? When I listen to ‘master’/192kHz tracks on tidal just using bluetooth on my iPhone 12 Pro, I can hear a plausible difference but otherwise tracks can sound very similar to just normal spotify playback.

Furthermore, I use both Mac’s and PC’s daily- is there any affordable audio unit that could let me make use of the LDAC codec listening to flac’s or streaming 192 kHZ from tidal?

If I’ve mucked anything up here please correct me.

I appreciate it!
