Apple Music HiFi

I'd be pretty miffed myself they didn't build in the support for the higher fidelity when surely they had known they were releasing HiFi in upcoming months. If it was a few years down the line I'd understand but it's only months down the line.

Before yesterday, they still performed exactly as intended and still sound ridiculously good. I bought them for the convenience in regards to them syncing between all my devices and the perks like Spatial Audio, which still work today.

Like you should never buy something hoping they receive an update in the future in the event it never arrives. So my Max’s will get all that Spatial Audio/Atmos goodness. And I think Apple are banking on more people using/enjoying Spatial Audio than lossless.

I do concede that you would have thought that a conversation would have been had while the Max’s were in some sort of production to maybe include a DAC that would be compatible further down the line. Maybe this was a quick fix in line with Spotify’s announcement? Who knows.. ‍♂️

I’ll still get lossless via Airplay 2 which will be used on my Sonos gear and let’s be honest, unless you’re a true Audiophile, CD quality will be absolutely fine for everyone.
