Apple Music Lossless or Hi-Res audio playback via Wi-Fi connection, not Bluetooth or USB I understand using the lighting to usb wired connection will allow better quality Apple Music audio playback, but is it possible to achieve the same, or better, audio quality playback using a Wi-Fi Carplay AVR to iPhone connection?

Lossless Music via iPhone workaround. This is really a tip but asking if anyone else has tried this. I’m currently enjoying Apple Music Lossless on my hifi using an AppleTV over HDMI - WITHOUT any TV or screen and run from my iPhone. I’ve set it up so I wake the AppleTV via Siri / HomeKit then ask it to play music which it does so - if you now launch the music app on your iPhone it will sync up with what’s playing on the AppleTV and you’ll see it as an audio destination but crucially NOT via AirPlay - see attached image. In this way, I can finally use my iPhone to fully run music on my hifi but with lossless / hi-res and NO airplay. Your hifi needs an hdmi in or use an hdmi audio extractor and of course you need an AppleTV. May also work from an iPad / MacBook over USB. Apple really should just allow iOS to recognise if AirPlay is streaming to an Apple device and automatically switch to native lossless pull down and decoding. They can keep the AirPlay bottleneck for third parties but between Apple devices it’s deeply annoying.

Options for listening to Apple Music over Hi-Fi I want to be able to listen to Apple Music over a Hi-Fi. This 'Hi-Fi' at the moment consists of a pair of active speakers but I was planning to either use a spare audio interface I have which can be set to work in standalone mode (no host computer required) or to buy a device that allowed me access to Apple Music and had an analogue input (for a record player - I already have a phono preamp) and analogue outputs to connect to my active speakers. However, I can't seem to find anything. The nearest I've found are devices like Wiim and Sonos Port Network Streamer but these just use Airplay 2. I have two issues with Airplay 1. The audio stream, from what I've read, is limited to 16bit 44.1Khz (CD quality) 2. You have to use another device like a computer, iPad or iPhone. Whilst I have these, my Mac won't be anywhere near it and my iPad/iPhone isn't always going to be in the same room. I had thought about buying a second AppleTV box just to be able to access Apple Music but this only has an HDMI output which would then need to go to a TV and I don't want a great big TV screen and it still doesn't solve getting audio into the Hi-Fi. Buying another iPad and using a wired connection isn't financially viable. I had also thought of using Plex but then there isn't an easy way to stream Apple Music into Plex so that's not really an option. Is there another option I've not looked at?
