iPhone or iPad, running Apple Music hardwired to Dragonfly Cobalt or other DAC then to high resolution earphones or amp will provide you with lossless ALAC outcome but any wireless connection on that path will ruin lossless hi-res.
Apple Music streaming vs "direct" connection
With all the streaming options these days, Anyone play around with different configurations to stream Apple Music while staying in their ecosystem?
Iphone>Apple Music>Airplay>Airport Express> amp. (may not be true lossless per Darko article)
Ipad>Apple Music> Apple headphone adaptor>amp (Ipad outputs 24/48, headphone adaptor dac does 24/48 - or so they say)
Any other configurations?
