So I just purchased an Apple TV 4K. We have a UHD/HDR television and a DVD/BlueRay so the video thing is all good.
I also have a very large digital m4a music collection on the MacBook Air and backed up on an SSD.
The missing piece is being able to stream in hidef. There's been a bunch of online chatter about that as of late. Is any of the streaming options on the Apple TV 4K transmitted in HiDef?
Thanks

Apple TV's audio output is capped at 48kHz (typical video sample rate). Actually it's "forced" at 48kHz: everything exits at this sample rate. Even an AirPlay audio (which basically runs at 44.1 kHz is upsampled at 48kHz).
Audio purists usually on't like this kind of manipulations.
Hi-res audio is hence not possible on Apple TV. Curiously Tidal offers an app for Apple TV claiming, and I quote from an article found on internet, "The same uncompromising, HiFi audio experience to make the most out of your personal home theater."
Now, I'm not a Tidal subscriber. I'm quite curious to know how is this working.
I'd gladly have an Apple TV offering hi-res (bit-perfect) output at least for locally streamed files (via Home Sharing).
There are no replies.
Apple Music stream in hidef/lossless?
