Apple Music and iFi Audio

Press release | With Apple announcing their new lossless Hi-Res format, we thought we'd go over how Apple Music and iFi DACs are the perfect combination to get the most out of Apple Music's new lossless High-Res format.

Apple’s recent announcement of Apple Lossless streaming on its Apple Music platform is fantastic news to music lovers everywhere.

Compared to before where the formats were ‘lossy’ – that is, a chunk of music information was lost on conversion back to what we actually hear from the digital format, ‘lossless’ does not lose any information. This new format is very high-resolution, up to the 24/192Khz format loved by audiophiles as a go-to format.

To get the best out of Apple Music’s new lossless High-Res format, a DAC; Digital-to-Analogue Converter, is needed to convert the 1s and 0s to an analogue music wave so that the human ear can hear it.

The iFi DACs do this and more. They are fully compatible with all Apple devices and no additional software or plugins are needed.
