Holo Audio Spring 3 KTE issue with Apple Music

I have a Holo Audio Spring 3 KTE connected to my MacBook Pro via USB cable. When I attempt to play high-resolution lossless audio files in Apple Music, the Holo Audio Spring 3 KTE display shows that the audio is playing at 44.1K, which is not the expected sample rate for high-resolution files. However, when I use Audirvana to play high-resolution files, I do not encounter any issues. I am wondering what could be causing this problem. 

That's because Audirvana handles sample rate changes for you, I believe this still needs to be done manually if you're playing using Apple's own app.

@kwatch the only way to avoid this problem is to use an iphone/ipad to play Apple Music, connect it to the dac using the CCK (Apple Camera Connection Kit) accessory

I can change the audio sample output in "Audio MIDI Setup" app.

Core audio in Mac OS does not support automatic rate switching.

I purchased the Apple Lightning to USB3 Camera Adapter and tested it on my iPhone 12 and iPad (9.7", 2017) models. I have set Apple Music to play in Hi-Res Lossless quality, but the music is only playing at 44.1 kHz instead of the expected higher quality. What could be wrong? Did I miss anything?

It probably allowed for auto audio sample rate switching before, but it seems like the sample rate is now locked at 44.1k

I think my iPad(9.7", 2017) is not compatible with Hi-Res audio.

i asked ChatGPT if all iPads are compatible with Hi-Res Lossless using the Apple Lightning USB 3 Camera Adapter. It replied as follows.

No, not all iPad models are compatible with hi-res lossless audio when connected to an external DAC via the Apple Lightning to USB 3 Camera Adapter. The following iPad models are compatible with hi-res lossless audio when used with the Apple Lightning to USB 3 Camera Adapter:

iPad Pro 12.9-inch (3rd generation and later)

iPad Pro 11-inch (1st generation and later)

iPad Air (4th generation)

iPad (8th generation)

It's important to note that the external DAC being used also needs to be compatible with the iPad model and the Lightning to USB 3 Camera Adapter for hi-res lossless audio to work. It's best to check the specifications and compatibility of both the iPad model and the DAC before making a purchase.

I have Onkyo HF Player on my iPhone 7 and I can play native DSD64 to my dac using Apple CCK …
