Quote:According to several insiders familiar with Apple, whose products are exhibited at PORTABLE AUDIO FESTIVAL 2015, the company has been developing Hi-Res Audio streaming up to 96kHz/24bit in 2016.
Any plans for Devialet to add Apple Music?

There has never been an indication that Apple (or 99% of their customers) care about sound quality. Just because they sell Phantoms in their stores only says they see the potential to sell a lot of them, not because they want to sell high end sound. If they were into high end, they would have bought Grado, not Beats.
Having said that, don't knock Apple streaming as it is now on sound quality. The difference with Tidal is very small if noticeable at all with some music.

Well, I am an Apple customer having applied to Qobuz sublime taking care about sound quality a lot to my understanding. Maybe I am one of those 1 percent only but I think it makes perfectly sense for Apple to go for hires. And I heard they have been asking the lables to provide hires files for quite a while already....
