I would rather stream from my iPad Pro though. The only sticking point is that DSD files won't stream natively. In addition, I forgot that I could stream from my JRiver library via JRemote on the iPhone as well. Turns out the iPhone is a good digital transport. Turns out I already had a long USB cable and the camera connection kit so I went ahead and started listening to Apple Music that way. It's a workaround, not elegant nor convenient. This will supposedly work up to 192 kHz – unfortunately without a remote control.įor the sake of completion, you could in case use screen sharing from the Mac mini to an iPad. I'm in a similar boat: I use a Lumin streamer AirPlay 1 compatible, hence the aforementioned AirPlay solution limited to 44.1 kHz will at least work. I have a Mac mini as well connected to a Topping DX7 Pro via USB. I get your "frustration" and the need to clarify the doubts. Problem is how to browse an play the rest of the catalogue or its playlists/radio stations which aren't available in Remote.
We will see if Apple will update current AirPlay protocols (1 or 2 or both) or even add a third version to support higher sample rates.Īs said the hi-res music previously added to your Music app library will be remotely reachable and playable through Remote app. Yet to be seen if and when it will be available.Įverything over 44.1 kHz up to 192 kHz will be downsampled to 44.1 kH because current AirPlay protocol (both 1 and 2) works in this way. That said, if AirPlay will carry Apple Music lossless audio (and I don't see why it couldn't) you will at least reach 44.1 kHz lossless streaming from your iPhone/iPad to your Mac mini acting as a AirPlay Server using an app: īTW, the developer is considering to support AirPlay 2 if technically feasible. We have to wait less than 2 weeks (hopefully not more) to check in person all this. Right now there's a lot of speculation about how will Apple Music work in hi-res: AirPod/HomePod/Apple TV compatibility, AirPlay 1 and 2 limits, Spacial Audio, DAC sample rate matching, subscription tiers offered etc.
