I'm assuming you're on an M1 Mac as well, you might be in the same boat as SparkOnShore unfortunately, though they still see the mention of it not being available; so that's interesting.
This is going to sound selfish but I don’t mind Apple products being walled off from other companies. What I like about Apple is their stuff just work seamlessly together.
Apple tends to do the minimum to make their products compliant with the standards so they can play with others. They "extend" the standards in a proprietary way so it plays really well within their own family of products. This is easy to do when you control both the software and hardware side of a multitude of products, you 3rd party software needs to be installed; it's already there. One of the nice things with Apple moving OS X to ARM is the fact that much of the software that makes things run in the background can easily be ported over to iOS and iPad OS without much fuss (the M1 machines can run iPad apps natively).
Was this a feature that was talked about? It's not like the APM has many that you could possibly choose from (it peaks out at 48k).
apologies, I spoke in the context of the mac os itself
i am aware of the limitations of the APM. i was hoping that with the latest version of mac os, automatic sample rate switching in Monterey could be a reality. that would allow me to use an external DAC such as my Oppo HA-1 and connect my Oppo PM-1 and enjoy Apple Music in hi res lossless. I'm still holding out hope that someday, that would be a reality.
I’m actually not sure how the lossless streaming works with regards to what it chooses to play. Some recordings are sampled higher than 48k while others are not. If higher is available, I’m not sure how it chooses it, there may be a setting to see what it’ll stream or download. If you have a downloaded file and want higher than downloaded file you’d have to delete the downloaded song then redownload at a higher quality.apologies, I spoke in the context of the mac os itself
With ios 15.1 you can now choose headtracking directly in the control center.
Yes, and with iOS 15.1, the settings trailed I showed no longer exists too.
Apple acknowledged it last year saying it was normal. I kind of have to force it to happen by bringing the APM out in really harsh, cold environments for extended periods of time; it normally involves me shoveling snow off my driveway for an hour or two in sub-freezing weather (normally well below sub-freezing). I'm pretty sure all my headphones actually have condensation when I do that though. The three I've tested since pads come off easily are the B&W P7W which has it's acoustic fabric absorb the condensation, V-Moda M200 ANC which shows droplets of water, and the Apple AirPods Max which shows droplets of water. I personally haven't tested any others since the pads are a PITA to remove generally.
Ah OK, of course they did
It's 'normal' for vehicle glass to condensate over winter, but not domestic electronics kept indoors.
Droplets of water is probably the better description of what happens. I did get condensation the day after I got them while I was using them indoors as well, though they were delivered in sub-freezing temps as well (no clue about temp of the truck). I haven't been able to reproduce that scenario though no matter what I did.Ah OK, of course they did
My house is 21-22 deg C minimum, so if I did wear them outside when it's freezing, I suspect there would be puddles of water under the ear cups!
Oh well, if the manufacturer and other APM users aren't bothered about it, then I'll just ignore it then.
