Popular Post Gus141 Posted June 25, 2021 Popular Post Share Posted June 25, 2021 I found this article interesting too. 9to5mac found that using system-wide Airplay2 via iOS control center also allowed lossless to Homepod (even though Hoempod doesn’t natively support lossless *yet*); but only via the system-wide setting, getting the arrow: [quote] The icon must appear as “iPhone -> HomePod;” if it’s that way, you will see a little “lossless” icon above the Play/Pause button. If it only appears “HomePod” in the AirPlay, it won’t stream in Lossless audio quality. [/quote] The comments (towards the bottom of the comments thread) for that article explain how to get that Airplay mode via the control panel. There are some niggles. Here are some excerpts from those comments, but I recommend reading them in full to find the tidbits that helped people get it to work: —selecting the HomePod from the "Speakers and TVs" interface, not "Control Other Speakers & TVs” —You need to do it [re-direct audio to Airplay device] while a song is already playing [on the iPhone/iPad] —might need to download in Lossless and play the downloaded song vs Streaming it Reference: https://9to5mac.com/2021/06/09/ios-14-6-airplay-lossless-homepod/ @The Computer Audiophile maybe this would get lossless from iOS to your test equipment too. They couldn’t confirm lossless was *actually* delivered to the Homepod, just that the Lossless logo was showing. The Computer Audiophile and Bevok 2 Link to comment
