Apple has several levels of audio to chose from:
Lossy AAC at 256Kbit
Lossless ALAC up to 24-bit/48 kHz
Hi-Res Lossless ALAC up to a maximum resolution of 24-bit/192 kHz.
They also have the spatial track options on a lot of music in Atmos, if that’s your thing.
All options are included with the base subscription, but listening to the Hi-Res audio typically requires an external DAC as well.
- jlas 3y agoMajor drawback of Apple Hi Res is that Apple headphones dont support it (bluetooth is lossy), and even their recommended 3.5mm adapter converts it down to 48kHz (https://support.apple.com/en-us/HT212183 https://support.apple.com/en-us/HT212183)
