I'm a big Apple Music fan due to the interface and library, but not being able to stream lossless is starting to become a deal breaker for me.

Not sure why they gave access to third parties to the Dolby Atmos and not loses.

Currently on the fence to switch to TIDAL, I got a Sonos Beam 2 and 2 x Sonos One SL.

Dolby Atmos barely gets in the Ones (only the Beam is compatible), but lossless from TIDAL is streaming 100% volume everywhere.

My only gripe is that I can't upload music on TIDAL and some of their remastered albums are awful.

Hoping for a change with iOS 18 as closing between lossless bad dynamic range vs compressed good dynamic range via Airplay 2 (when the protocol is capable of streaming 24bit audio) is starting to iritate me.
