Just playing with the beta now on my NW-A105 and unfortunately this version is not using Direct mode and so goes the standard resolution route... To be honest looking at the code this beta needs some work, it causes a whole world of confusion trying to play high-res lossless. that said it appears a 24/96 track plays with high res streaming enabled (upscalled to 32/192)

Anyone know any 24/192 albums I could test?
Its a real shame they can't enable Direct playback for compatible DAPs

I received my Apple 4K TV box, yesterday. I must say I’m absolutely loving Apple Music & very pleased I subscribed.

Initial listening was through my surround set up & of course listening to Dolby Atmos, Hi Res Lossless, Lossless & I’m really impressed.

Finished the evening, listening via my Sony MDR-Z1R’s connected to my Sony TA-ZH1ES & it was a revelation, especially with Dolby Atmos, of course using the DSD Remastering.

Looking forward to many more new releases…

Is your Sony TAZH1ES connected to your TV via Optical.
If so does the TV do PCM stereo via Optical out as Sony TAZH1ES is not Dolby AV DAC/AMP.

I have my ipad connected to the TA via the USB-B port, using an Apple adapter. I’ve mainly played back this way. Of course I can play from the actual Apple box. So it’s connected via HDMI to my AVR. I’m not using any optical connection.

Whether this is the right way ? I’m not technically minded, but what I hear via speakers or headphones sounds excellent to me.

Well I've tried and man, 24/192 is a disaster on the NW-A105. The system does handle 24/192 correctly so be it via StdRes (Android audio route) so with high res streaming enabled should be able to do it however I suspect the buffer size apple have specified is insufficient for this device as it just can't keep up with streaming. It hangs every few seconds, utterly useless. It looks like they've used a buffer of 16k whereas UAPP needs 65k to be stable. I'll feed back to apple although that will likely fall on deaf ears.

Can some one check if there is still the glitch on this album by using apple lossless. In AAC ot was present

between tracks 18 and 25 is like a skip or scratch glitch
