    Apple Lossless and Spatial Audio

    Yes, this is an excellent song. I like the musical ”hook” which is very hypnotic. Again, there is just something so downtrodden about her voice, yet the music is pretty darn good. Just listened to it, and you are right, the drums almost seem to encircle your head. I have been reading...

    Sam, That was the issue. Would never had thought to look into the settings and turn those on specifically. So, I am sitting here listening to Spatial Audio and I am very impressed by how open the soundstage is. Really remarkable. Thanks for helping me with this! BTW, really trying to get...

    Ted, I have Apple Music through my Verizon wireless subscription. Their top-tier plans include Apple Music, Disney+, Hulu, and ESPN. That being said, I am kind of pessimistic that when Apple upgrades to Lossless that my Verizon plan would cover that. I currently subscribe to Qobuz which...
