Apple Music brings high-resolution lossless audio to tvOS 27, in addition to standard lossless audio.
Apple says subscribers with compatible external speaker outputs will be able to enjoy their favorite songs in the best audio quality and experience studio-quality sound directly through their Apple TV 4K.
As of tvOS 26, Apple TV 4K supports Apple Music Lossless audio up to 24-bit/48kHz, but does not support high-resolution lossless playback (above 48kHz or up to 24-bit/192kHz).
Lossless audio refers to a form of compression that preserves all of the original data, which can result in an enhanced listening experience, although the extent to which this is debated.
The tvOS 27 Developer Beta is already available and registered developers can install it via Settings ➝ System ➝ Software Update ➝ Beta Updates on a supported Apple TV. tvOS 27 will be available in general release in the fall.
