Correct me if I’ve got this totally wrong- but isn’t it kind of pointless to us the hi res music over Bluetooth?
The APM used AAC. The phone will send AAC at max 256kb/s to the APM. So if you listen to regular Apple Music, there is no further conversion done, it’s simply sending the AAC codec to the APM and they decode the music
But if you play say a FLAC file from tidal, the app will surely convert this to a AAC at 256 Kbps anyway, for the APM to then decode.
i presume maybe even playing the native AAC from Apple Music may be better, as it was encoded from a master copy and not converted on the fly by the tidal app for example
Or have i got this wrong ???
I guess over wired connection, then yes there may well be a big benefit, just not sure over BT
