How Apple Music Lossless Audio work?
Lossless Audio will be available to all users at up to the specified resolutions, but will need a wired audio setup to properly take advantage of the higher resolution and detail in the tracks.
Other features such as bit-perfect resolution, and particularly the availability of the highest resolution of 24-bit/ 192kHz audio tracks will depend on the devices and equipment in use.
There are two tiers for Lossless Audio with most tracks falling within the lower ‘Lossless’ tier, and select tracks and albums offering the ‘High-Res Lossless’ streaming in a higher resolution.
How Dolby Atmos and Spatial Audio on Apple Music work?
Dolby Atmos and Spatial Audio support on Apple Music will work on wireless headsets as well as wire headsets.
Dolby Atmos is support on select tracks and can be set to Always On through the settings to allow for the format to be use on any headphones or earphones, be it wire or wireless.
The format allows for a wider and more open listening experience, simulating surround sound despite there only being two channels in most headsets.
Spatial Audio is limit to select headphones and earphones for now, including the Apple AirPods Pro and AirPods Max, and will work when these headsets are use to listen to supported tracks.
