Apple TV
Q: iPhone 7 and high resolution audio
Hi-
Considering buying the iPhone 7. I notice that the DAC is now external to the phone for good lightning cable headphones and even the Lightning to 3.5mm adapter contains a little DAC in it.
Does that mean that the iPhone 7 will accept high resolution audio files? (I'm talking 24 bit, 192.000 kHz files with bitrates up around 9,216 kbps, like those that you can purchase from Pono Music or HD Tracks).
The Apple store is now selling items such as the Audeze planar headphones with high quality DACs.
Has anybody tried this yet? It may convince me to upgrade from my iPhone 6. (I currently use one of those Toblerone shaped Pono Players for hi res music).
