• Max – High fidelity lossless audio up to 24-bit / 192kHz with HiRes FLAC (Free Lossless Audio Codec) and Master Quality Authenticated audio (MQA)
• High – Lossless audio with FLAC (16-bit / 44.1kHz)
• Low (up to 320kbps) – the music you love using lower data usage with compressed AAC files. This is where Spotify's audio files max out.

Oh hell yeah. I can finally put my 11.4.2 surround sound to good use!!!!

Currently I only watch porn in full Atmos surround. It's not because I like the ambience, actually many times I turn it on and walk away. You see, we have a late 20s couple living next door and I don't want them to think that my wife and I are dead fish. In reality by the time wife and I get back from work, eat dinner and put the toddler to bed we only have enough energy to brush our teeth and pass out. But I digress

My Studio Pro 3 and Atmos system will finally be married. Nice to see other audiophiles here.

My car sound system is awesome at 128kbps.

Yes... the tide is high...
