Hello.
Maybe this can be useful for more people using Apple Music lossless via Airplay 2.
I listen to my music with Sound check > ON - all the time, but I noticed that the sound from Apple Music is not so clear as the sound from Tidal integration in the Sonos app. By clear, I mean not so bright highs, not so defined lower frequencies, and also mids.
Well, not anymore.
After applying in the Settings > Music > Sound check > Off
AND
Settings > Music > Dolby Atmos > Off (if it was on Automatic, or On)
The sound will immediately pop-up, as it should.
(The change of Dolby Atmos settings is important here, because turning Sound check On or Off will not change the setting immediately).
I was surprised how the change is audible on my basic speakers.
My setup:
iPad 2019
Ikea Bookshelf Symfonisk after Trueplay calibration in the stereo pair
Tested with several records - Abbey Road from The Beatles, Diana Ross, etc. All in Lossless, or Hi-Res Lossless.
Now, there is an ongoing discussion about the transmission of the sound via Airplay from Apple Music to Sonos. Is it 24/44.1, or 16/44.1, or AAC only?
I can’t tell, but it sounds good to me.
Thanks for reading!
