I'm trying to play Hi-Res Lossless music on Apple's Music app through the USB-C output on my iPad Pro into my amplifier's DAC. But the sound is downsampled to 44.1kHz instead of 96kHz or 192kHz. If I use a competitor's app like Amazon Music, I get full resolution at 192kHz. So this is specific to the Apple Music app.
How do I get full Hi-Res Lossless music from the Music app through USB-C?
iPad Pro (6th generation)
But that means there is no way to actually experience Hi-res Lossless music from their own app and products. If it’s not supported via Bluetooth OR the USB-C there’s literally no way actually play the hi-res music. Why even have the files for it?
But you can play the files on iPad and iPhone, seems pretty silly to me as that’s the products most likely to be used for music. It’s also not a hardware issue as Amazon Music plays full res from the iPad. So you wonder why they would have the Music app downsample the sound files.
It is what it is, vent here Feedback - Apple Music - Apple.
It’s not supported, unfortunately.
It’s supported on Macs with an external DAC.
