When that lands, the gap between Spotify and Apple will close once again. While Spotify isn’t yet able to match the audio quality of Apple Music Lossless, it is planning to release a “HiFi” tier at some stage this year. Apple recommends a “USB digital-to-analog converter” known as a DAC. This update allows them to stream music in audiophile-grade qualities, compared to Spotify’s highest setting of up to 320kbps bitrate. It’s worth noting, however, that to hear the best quality audio from Apple Music Lossless, users will need to use external equipment to drive the sound. Because of its recent update, Apple Music now offers lossless audio quality of up to 24-bit/192 kHz as well as spatial audio with Dolby Atmos. Using its ALAC (Apple Lossless Audio Codec), users are able to “hear the exact same thing that artists created in the studio.” What’s more, this service is offered free as part of the standard Apple Music subscription.

Enhancing one of the mainstream music-streaming services with high-fidelity sound is sure to please both audiophiles and enthusiast listeners. For lovers of high-quality music, the lossless news will be huge. As a creator, it is beyond exciting that we can now share this incredible experience through Apple Music.Apple Music Lossless has been announced alongside support for Dolby Atmos spatial audio. There is a unique experience of being able to fully immerse myself in music that, although is familiar, suddenly sounds new, fresh, and immediate. With this work I have found myself falling into albums I love.
This is a quantum leap in technology – I have so far had the pleasure of mixing some of the greatest artists in history in Dolby Atmos. From the feeling of hearing your favorite artist in the same room as you, to the experience of sitting directly in the middle of a symphony orchestra, the listening experience is transformative and the possibilities for the creator are endless. Now with the dawn of immersive audio, we can take the music lover inside the music. Grammy Award-winning producer, songwriter, and composer Giles Martin said: “Since recording began, artists, producers, and engineers have tried to paint pictures with sound, transporting listeners to worlds they never knew existed, even when the sound came from a single speaker.
