Apple TV missed Hi-Res Lossless, the first AirPods Max wired experience is not perfect

According to a support document shared by Apple today, both the HomePod and HomePod mini smart speakers will receive support for Apple Music lossless audio in subsequent software updates. In addition, this new document also reveals other content.

For example, Apple TV 4K set-top boxes are temporarily missing the highest level of Hi-Res Lossless, but can only use standard-level lossless audio services (from 16-bit @ 44.1 kHz to 24-bit, bit @ 48 kHz).

As for when the Hi-Res Lossless update will be provided in the future, it is currently unknown. In addition to AirPods Max users, Apple Music can not be in the case of a wired connection, giving it complete beauty lossless audio experience.

Apple wrote: Although the company provides a 3.5mm analog audio output that can be switched through the Lighting port, and AirPods Max supports unparalleled high-definition lossless audio playback, considering the conversion loss in the cable, the actual playback experience will also be better.

It is reported that the so-called lossless audio specifically refers to a compressed form that can retain all the original data. Even if there is still some controversy, the general consensus is that it helps to improve the audio experience. However, Apple still admits in the supporting documents that the difference between Apple Music’s standard and lossless audio is actually “almost indistinguishable”.

According to the plan, the company will provide all Apple Music subscribers with a free upgraded Lossless lossless audio experience in June. Apple Music will not charge any additional fees on devices running iOS 14.6, iPad OS 14.6, macOS 11.4, and tvOS 14.6 (or later). And by the end of the year, Apple is expected to provide support for 75 million tracks.

At the same time, Apple Music will also provide support for Spatial Audio in June. This feature is based on Dolby Atoms technology, which can bring an immersive audio experience. There will be thousands of tracks for the first release, and follow-up will be updated regularly.
