John Voorhees, MacStories:

When Apple announced that Spatial Audio and Lossless Audio are coming to Apple Music, it wasn’t entirely clear from the press release whether Lossless Audio would work with AirPods or HomePods. Since then, Apple has confirmed to T3 that AirPods Pro and AirPods Max do not support Lossless Audio.

Short read, with links to various “Apple confirmed” articles. But in a nutshell, no Lossless on AirPods, even Lightning connected AirPods Max, and no Lossless on HomePod either.

I’m still going to find a setup that works, give Hi-Res Lossless a try, see if I can tell the difference.
