Apple Music A Most Elegant Way to Get Bit-Perfect High-Res Apple Music with WiiM DSP & Bass Management!

I've seen this on both, Apple Music and Qobuz, where different tracks on the same album are not the same sample rate.

I have not seen that on Qobuz. I can understand that for some albums a specific track might have been mastered differently and should be noted, but what we are observing on Apple Music is not that.

Are you guys talking about there being a higher-resolution copy in the server library, yet the client side is pulling a lower-res version?

I do see Apple Music doing this occasionally, and that is annoying.

Yes... albums marked at quality A, play back some tracks at quality A and others at quality B<A (transcoded). I have not seen that on Qobuz.

I tried with this set up, but the iphone 12 does not recognize the cable as an accessory like it would with head phones and keep playing music from its internal speakers.
Any idea ?

Not unless the usb-c cable has the Apple chip in it

You will need to use the Apple Lightning to USB Camera Adapter.

When you first posted the same question on 14th April, @Burnside replied in the next post with a solution, and this definitely works with an iPhone XS Max, and 13 Pro Max, so would work with an iPhone 12.

I can confirm that also works with an iPhone 6S and also an iPhone 13 but both require the Apple Lightning to USB Camera Kit. It has the necessary Apple chip in it. Some copies work others don't.

I get it . Thanks for all your replies.

I finally got it to work with a non apple lightning usb adapter. Pretty impressed with the sound quality. The wiim app shows LPCM, is it normal?

This screen shows the input signal, not the output signal. Linear Pulse Code Modulation is fine, either case.
