In Hi-Res Lossless mode, sound is so astoundingly crisp and clear that each note feels close enough to touch. But as an audiophile, it’s a big no.įrom the Apple info page: The Highest Audio QualityĪpple Music Classical features lossless audio of up to 24 bit/192 kHz throughout the service so listeners can experience the nuances of every performance. And that’s yet another reason for a classical music civilian why Apple Music Classical may be perfect for you. The main reason is Apple’s reach-they simply have the widest, deepest catalogue for classical music. When Apple, very late to the party, switched its library to CD quality, it was a big deal. Lots of biographies, podcasts, playlists, etc, all to the good, and a superb app for those new to classical music. The PR goes on to list the music luminaries helping to launch the app. With Apple Music Classical, Apple Music subscribers can easily find any recording in the world’s largest classical music catalogue with fully optimized search enjoy the highest audio quality available and experience many classical favourites in a whole new way with immersive Spatial Audio browse expertly curated playlists, insightful composer biographies, and descriptions of thousands of works and so much more.” Not an ideal “high-end” solution.Īpple’s PR says: “Apple today launched Apple Music Classical, a brand-new standalone music streaming app designed to deliver the listening experience classical music lovers deserve.
