Apple Music: High Resolution Sound

Apple Music will offer its subscribers high-resolution lossless audio, with the additional features of spatial audio and Dolby Atmos support.
The Spatial Audio feature attempts to recreate the feeling of immersive audio for a more intense listening experience.

Thousands of Spatial Audio tracks with Dolby Atmos will be available starting from June 2021.
In addition, 75 million music tracks will be available in lossless audio format, i.e. without any loss of quality.
From CD quality, which is 16bit and 44.1kHz, up to 24bit and 48kHz playable on Apple devices.
In addition, the High-Resolution listening mode is also available for the most demanding users up to 24 bit 192 kHz; however, to enjoy this feature users need an adequate system capable of supporting this type of audio.

Apple also fits in with many other competitors who have introduced high-resolution music.
