'Using any system or service is a matter of trust.'

That line from my latest post sums up why I left Tidal after years as a subscriber. A 9,999 track library cap I didn't know existed was enough to make me question everything.

I'd been with Tidal for years. When I transferred my library across, it stopped at 9,999 tracks and wouldn't move.

I had no idea if the rest of my saved music had made it. That uncertainty was enough for me to cancel.

#AirPodsMax firmware 7E101 is here with #losslessaudio. #Apple

Nowy firmware dla AirPods Max – obsługa dźwięku bezstratnego

Apple udostępniło nowy firmware 7E101 dla AirPods Max z USB-C, rozwiązując problem z wcześniejszą wersją 7E99, której nie można było pobrać.

Aktualizacja wprowadza obsługę dźwięku bezstratnego (24-bit 48 kHz) oraz ultra-niskie opóźnienie, co poprawia jakość odsłuchu i umożliwia miksowanie dźwięku w Personalized Spatial Audio.

AirPods Max z bezstratnym dźwiękiem i ultraniskim opóźnieniem – nowa era audio od Apple

Nowe funkcje są dostępne wyłącznie dla modelu AirPods Max z USB-C i wymagają połączenia z iPhone’em, iPadem lub MacBookiem oraz systemu iOS 18.4, iPadOS 18.4 lub macOS Sequoia 15.4. Aby zainstalować firmware, wystarczy umieścić słuchawki w zasięgu Bluetooth urządzenia Apple, podłączyć je do ładowania i poczekać na aktualizację.

AirPods Max z bezstratnym dźwiękiem i ultraniskim opóźnieniem – nowa era audio od Apple

Apple ogłosiło, że AirPods Max zyskają obsługę bezstratnego dźwięku (Lossless Audio) oraz ultraniskiego opóźnienia audio, stając się pierwszymi słuchawkami w ofercie firmy oferującymi taką jakość.

Aktualizacja, która zostanie wprowadzona w kwietniu za pośrednictwem nowego oprogramowania układowego, umożliwi użytkownikom doświadczenie dźwięku w standardzie 20-bit/48 kHz, co jest przełomem w bezprzewodowym audio.

Nowe funkcje są możliwe dzięki zmodyfikowanemu protokołowi bezprzewodowemu i chipowi H2, który napędza AirPods Max. Firma podkreśla, że ultraniskie opóźnienie sprawi, że słuchawki będą idealne nie tylko do słuchania muzyki, ale także do gier i produkcji muzycznej, oferując precyzyjne śledzenie ruchów głowy w trybie Personalized Spatial Audio.

To odpowiedź na oczekiwania profesjonalistów i audiofilów, którzy dotychczas musieli polegać na przewodowych rozwiązaniach.

Apple aktualizuje AirPods Max: nowe oprogramowanie układowe już dostępne

Od przyszłego miesiąca AirPods Max staną się jedynymi słuchawkami Apple’a umożliwiającymi artystom zarówno tworzenie, jak i miksowanie muzyki z wykorzystaniem spatial audio z dynamicznym śledzeniem głowy. Użytkownicy będą mogli w pełni wykorzystać potencjał Apple Music w trybie bezstratnym, ciesząc się nieskompresowanym dźwiękiem, który wcześniej był ograniczony przez technologię Bluetooth.

Apple zaznacza, że aktualizacja jest darmowa i wymaga jedynie sparowania słuchawek z urządzeniem z systemem iOS 18.1, iPadOS 18.1 lub macOS Sequoia 15.1. Nowe możliwości mają wzmocnić pozycję AirPods Max na rynku premium, gdzie konkurują z modelami takimi jak Sony WH-1000XM5 czy Bose QuietComfort Ultra, oferując unikalną integrację z ekosystemem Apple.

Premiera aktualizacji zaplanowana na kwiecień 2025 roku już teraz budzi entuzjazm wśród fanów marki. Eksperci przewidują, że może to być krok w stronę dalszego rozwoju technologii audio w urządzeniach Apple, w tym potencjalnych następców AirPods Max, które mogłyby jeszcze bardziej podnieść poprzeczkę w kategorii bezprzewodowego dźwięku wysokiej jakości.

Gurman: Apple nie planuje odświeżać AirPods Max

So this is a fun #Audio tool for #macOS if you listen to various #HiRes and/or #LosslessAudio formats and want to switch a digital output to the matching #SampleRate on playback - https://github.com/vincentneo/LosslessSwitcher

I'd love for it to match discrete output channels and bitrate along with sample rate to account for multichannel source material 🤔 I may have to play with the #CoreAudio tricks they use for the app.

Okay, #MusicBee is a no go for me (I already crashed it once and it dumped obfuscated stack traces into Event Viewer) and #Foobar2000 must be dropped as the (original) author appears to be a shitweasel.
