Audiophiles recently got what they’d long demanded: Apple Music announced on May 17 that it was adding a lossless streaming service that delivers uncompromised sound quality at no extra charge. Within hours, Amazon Music announced that it would eliminate its $5-per-month charge for lossless streaming. And so, in the course of a single morning, affordable, no-compromise music streaming had become widely available. But considering how Apple downplayed the announcement, preferring to focus on its introduction of Dolby Atmos immersive music (which we’ll discuss in a separate article), we have to wonder how many listeners will share audiophiles’ excitement.
