  1. Yeah. But, as Chris has figured out, even iOS to the CCK doesn’t deliver bit perfect. So much for the Dragonly DAC that I just picked up…
  2. Adding to my earlier post, here is a strange discovery. As others have found, I lose the lossless icon in Apple Music (AM) on iOS when I stream over Airplay 2 to my 4K ATV (and we know it only streams at 256 kbps). But, I managed to recover the lossless icon in AM by streaming (lossless) from Amazon Music and then switching back to AM where the lossless icon reappears and remains in place when I then stream from AM (and I am fairly certain it is actually streaming lossless - soundstage and clarity are better). It’s almost as though I have tricked AM into streaming lossless. And yes I am then getting the “iPhone arrow” indication in this case. Separately, does anyone know whether the ATV will stream lossless when using the native Apple Music app on the ATV? There doesn’t appear to be anyway to tell what it is doing.
  3. Separate but related issue: I am unable to get my 5K iMac to resolve at the highest bit rate and resolutions no matter what I do with Apple Music. For whatever reason the higher rates are not options under audio midi set up. Anyone have nay bright ideas? Apple says my iMac is capable of 24/192. I am going Toslnk into some Audi Engine HD6 speakers that are also supposed to be 24/192 capable. And, more on point to this thread, I am finding that certain tracks within the same album are available in lossless while others are not. See attached screenshots. I think the technical term for this implementation is "a hot mess”.
  4. Even if you have the Wifi turned off the Mac where you are keeping your music, Remote on an iPad or iPhone will nonetheless "see" your iTunes library provided there you are on the same network as your Wifi router (eg if you are ethernet into an Airport Extreme which itself generating WiFi signal. Or, even if you are ethernet into a hub which is ethernet into a wireless router).
