I have seen a ton of different answers on this answer so I need some help. I have a Apple TV 1 (Hard drive). I have updated the Hard drive to 750gb and over the last few weeks I have been getting all my old itunes music over and deleting the mp3 file and replacing with a new AIFF file. So the file for each song went from 3.mb to like 40 or 50 mb per song. Now the question is... I have heard that Apple tv down converts music to a lower resolution when it receives it from streaming. But I have my computer hooked up with the Ethernet to apple tv so I want to make sure that all this re downloading is not a waste. Will the apple to play the files the same way I see on my itunes ( AIFF 1411kbps ). The reason why I'm doing this is because I'm getting new speakers and I want to get the most out of them with the music I have. If the apple tv 1 is still storing the music at a lower quality then I will have to go another way then. I find no point getting good speakers if the sound its playing is so compressed. Also is there a way to find out the bit rate from the apple tv.
Thanks for any help at all
