Hi,

Do I need 14.6 iOs to listen to lossless audio?
If so I will run the drain battery syndrome to listen to lossless audio..
Hope someone will answer that discussion...

Yes to listen to Apple Music lossless audio you need iOS 14.6 as it lays the framework for lossless audio on Apple Music.

About the battery drain, maybe a little bit if your streaming lossless audio as it would need to buffer a little longer since the files are larger. I believe downloaded lossless audio is negligible as I've been listening to lossless audio files ripped from CDs for years on my iPhone and had no effect on my battery life compared to AAC files.
