Hmm. The footnote mentions to play higher than 44.1/48kHz, the defacto for Bluetooth,  an external DAC is necessary, which also means it will show up in Audio Midi for example and Apple will play to it. Guess that the Apple music program will detect the DAC and play to it, but how does it know that it's a Dolby atmos capable for example. This is the domain of network AV receivers which have protocols already built in, big audience.

 

Bring on the Apple DAC'S. (Or 3rd party partners like Apogee?)

 

The Apple stores will surely be selling something for it?

 

And how about a new Apple hi res Bluetooth codec? (To compete with LDAC)

 

And everyone having buy all new Bluetooth headphones / earpods to use it?

The whole spatial / Atmos thing is an annoying diversion for hi res fans.
