The link you have up there tells you how to turn it on. It's supposed to be available in 14.6 which is what I referred to in my original post. If you follow the instructions below, the option is not available on either my iPhone or my iPad.

  • A wired connection to headphones, receivers, or powered speakers
  • The built-in speakers
  • To listen to songs at sample rates higher than 48 kHz, you need an external digital-to-analog converter.

  1. Go to Settings > Music.
