Hi,

Last year I switched from Qobuz to Apple Music, given the fact the last one is much easier to use for my wife and kids, and Apple started to play lossless music.

But after using the HomePod mini, I do miss the sound of my hifi installation. So I'm considering to buy the Bluesound Node, so I can connect the Apple 4k TV to the Bluesound Node (via HDMI), and use the RCA output to my receiver (Cambridge Azur). Hoping this is a way to use our Apple Music with lossless quality on our current hifi installation.

But it sounds too simple... Will I be able to enjoy Apple Music lossless with this setup (Apple 4k TV > Bluesound Node via HDMI > receiver via RCA)?

  Thank you very much for your clear answer!

  So, if I want to connect ATV to the Bluesound Node (and use the latter as a DAC), I will need to use an audio extractor, and connect this one with the optical in on the NODE, I guess?

  Pfff, why is Apple making it so hard to simply use Apple Music lossless...

  Thank you!

  The TV is in another room :-) And the amplifier (Cambridge Azur 851A) only has analog inputs. Just to make things complicated.

  Thank you for the reading: I think the Airplay 2 might be a solution via the NODE.
