At least this was the info when they introduced the format. I guess someone attending the Apple WWDC 2021 (where Spatial Audio etc. is presented) might have more insight on this.(08-Jun-2021, 11:30)Hrithik0015 Wrote: How to stream hi-res music from apple music to Phantom I?

I tried Airplay from Apple TV and from iPhone, a small "lossless" logo appears on the screen when the music is playing in this format, but hard to say how the Phantom I is truly receiving it. For Atmos Music content played over HDMI was easy to identify because my receiver would display the Atmos sign and all speakers would sound, and that is really good. Now for Airplay directly to Phantom I it was hard to say on the quick test I made. I tried to turn off lossless and play the same music just to check. The lossless sounded a bit more crisp over Airplay, but could be I was just primed by the lossless logo
It would be interesting to compare the same song played from other trusted lossless source and the one played from Apple Music over Airplay. Apparently Airplay 2 supports hi-res, question is if the Apple devices do recognize the Phantom as a capable device, otherwise it simply downsamples.
