Damn ight thanks

I've tried. It can't carry the atmos codec over airplay or auxillary so there's no way I can think of to play it. Best thing I can think of is wait till the new apple tv supports atmos music and then buy one of those.

Is this automatically on?

so i would have to go to the EQ option right to change it?

oh damn
theyre doing a new airplay update soon apparently so hopefully that will fix it

Once you see the albums available in Apple Music, you got it. The only thing you would mess with in settings is turning on lossless. You don't need to turn anything on for Atmos

That would be great. Which sadly means I'll have to buy an adapter that supports whatever new Airplay standard it is but whatever. Probably cheaper than an apple tv lol

I heard it might just be over wifi w no changes necessary hardware wise
but we'll see

Would highly suggest anyone test Atmos music on a real speaker setup if you ever get the chance. The s*** that's on tidal is mind blowing. I think it's a way bigger difference in listening experience than switching to lossless music.

Considering the differences between Airplay 1 and Airplay 2, I kinda sorta doubt that it's only software but I have no idea. smh I gotta keep paying tidal's outrageous prices for less music

let me just say itt for anyone doubting/wondering how much difference this makes

this is absolutely exceptional on my AirPods Pro
like legitimately game changing the music is so alive

I honestly can't tell a difference with looseless audio. Definitely noticeable with dolby atmos though, hopeully more ablums can get that support.

so its only with the music it has nothing to do with settings on the iphone?

I assume you're using airpods? that's why. they won't admit it but it's pointless on airpods

if youre listening on apple headphones you dont need to turn anything on in settings

if youre on other bluetooth headphones I think you need to set it to always in settings to get the version of it that works w other headphones

yep just the music

yeah I'm using airpods pro. What headphones do you recommend using for this?

sorry @mjpplus we switched your thread out so that people would have a guide explaining it in OP

we can make you op later if you want it

There's many different ones to suggest so that's tough. Personally I suggest the Beyerdynamic DT1990's. But you can go cheaper with the Sennheiser HD600's

Spatial audio works on OG AirPods 2 as well?

for lossless? you basically need a DAC to make it worth it

for Atmos the AirPods Pro are the best other than the AirPods Max for it

its a little confusing to tell

it will DEFINITELY work to an extent but it might not be quite as encompassing as on the Pros/Max not 100% sure on it

oh ok ty for the explanation i was confused lol i have like the old ipod ear buds from apple is that still ok to use and would i still get the dolby sound as well?

I wouldn't say you need a DAC to make it worth it. First of all you need good headphones to make it worth it. You can have those and no DAC and that alone is worth it. Having the DAC just makes it even better.

Oh nah I need this to work ASAP
