I have music I created as FLAC full resolution audio files on my iCloud Drive. When I download from my iCloud files folder to my iPhone and play through my AirPods Max headphones, am I now getting lossless audio? (I already set my music settings to lossless over Wi-Fi, but it is not clear if this is only happening via Apple Music.)
How can I listen to my FLAC audio files in lossless on my AirPod Max headphones?
