No. Apple Music losses has everything to do with it. With other lossless streaming services you will only get that garbage AAC single transmission algorithm just like AAC on Android - SPECIFICALLY ON IOS/MACOS = M1CHIP.I am aware that Apple has a nice implementation of the AAC codec, but what does the Apple Music Lossless have to do with anything? Any good source would do I guess?
Also I think PX8 is a more enjoyable headphone than APM even on iOS/AAC.
Definitely a matter of preference, but the natural timbre, sweet mids and more intimate soundstage does it for me. I do listen mostly to music with lots of guitars and vocals though, and I can see that someone more into electronic music would appreciate the sub bass from APM.
Apple Music implementation is rigged with Apple AAC implementation for Airpod Max based on H1 chips. So AAC transfer uses a local Cache on Airpod Max creating a higher resolution.
If you use a headphone without H1 chips then it will make no difference what lossless streaming is used with iOS and it willall be very lossy = Garbage AAC.
Based on above Airpod Max with non IOS/MACOS device sounds bad.
However with the right chain of implementation (Apple Music lossless >>>ios or (M1 based Mac) >>> AirpoMax. This is still the Best Bluetooth experience and it’s the only End to End implemented Bluetooth Audio system.
