Is lossless better than high quality Apple Music?
Apple’s Lossless streams use ALAC (Apple Lossless Audio Codec) to offer more detail and information in a recording. Apple offers three tiers of higher resolution audio: CD quality (16-bit/44.1kHz), Apple Music Lossless (up to 24-bit/48kHz), and Hi-Res Lossless (up to 24-bit/192kHz).
Is Apple Hi-res lossless worth it?
The lossless streams will offer quality at least as good as you hear from CDs, and they can do even better. The digital audio on CDs is sampled 44,100 times per second, which is generally considered adequate to cover the full range of human hearing, up to about 20,000 vibrations per second (or hertz).
