iPad Pro and 2020 iPad Air users whose devices rock a USB-C port can skip out on the CCK. The latter is sometimes referred to as the Camera Connection Kit or CCK. That leaves us with one way to tap Apple Music’s ‘hi-res lossless’ content: an iPad, connected to a USB DAC with Apple’s Lightning-to-USB adapter. To recap briefly: AirPlay and Apple TV OS are limited to 24bit/48kHz, macOS doesn’t offer automatic sample rate switching, Android resamples all audio to 48kHz and Google Chromecast doesn’t do gapless playback. In my previous post on hi-res audio on Apple Music, I detailed how Apple’s ‘hi-res lossless’ content – 24bit/96kHz or 24bit/192kHz streams – can be downsampled or resampled by the playback hardware before it reaches the DAC, often unbeknownst to the end-user.
