In Reply to: iTunes might be offering Hi-Rez soon? posted by Waxxy on April 10, 2014 at 15:18:14:
No "i" product contains a DAC that is capable of natively playing a file with a resolution that is higher than 24/48. A few companies have signed a licensing agreement with Apple to allow for the extraction of raw data that can be sent to an external Dac for processing. But such an interface negates the portability of i products.
A high Rez capable i product will mean one has to purchase another i product if portable features are to be retained. Otherwise one will be locked into desktop only use of Apple encrypted high Rez files.
