Using my iPhone to AirPlay lossless to my Samsung Q990D always resulted in AAC with Apple Music, even though my phone says it's lossless. The Q990D is ass and has no way of displaying the incoming format but I can tell from the loss of detail, especially in the bass and highs. I'd compared it with Apple Music from my Apple TV via HDMI which is obviously lossless and has all that missing detail.
Ever since I got the iPhone 17, or even prior when I updated iOS 26 on my 14 Pro Max, unsure which did it, using AirPlay to the soundbar results in louder, more detailed sound just like my Apple TV. Can anyone else confirm with their AV gear, that they're getting lossless now please?
