Is a real Apple Music integration yet to come?

Hey guys, I’m using BluOS via an NAD C388 with the 2i MDC and enjoy it very much (though, over the last years, some firmware versions tend to be more stable than others when it comes to hour long playback). The integration of all my music apps and libraries on the server works superb, but I mainly use my iPhone or iPad to control the playback via Tidal Connect (much more intuitive compared to the BluOS app when it comes to accessing the album’s titles by just tapping the current title, and the same for the artist). I am recently trying Apple Classical but it seems that the only way of getting the audio lossless to the stereo is just supported for Mac computers. Is there any attempt to integrate Apple Music and Classical into the BluOS app to directly stream via the 2i controller? Because right now, all I could do is use Airplay 2, which might be nice for my small speakers in the kitchen or pair all playback sources in different rooms when having a party. But compared to Tidal’s Master playback quality, it really lacks all the little details that makes me listen to my big stereo completely in awe. The goosebumps effect is just not building up. Best regards, Matthias

  It’s become a deal breaker. I’ve stopped buying new BluOS hardware. Considering a switch back to Sonos.

  you need to strike up a business agreement or licensing with Apple in order to commercially make Apple Music available

  THIS is the part many forget when implementing Services. That being said we continue to have great relations with our friends at Apple.

  I’ve had my BlueSound Vault for quite a years. Love it! It’s simple and gets the job done. Spotify works for streaming with the Vault 2 because you can choose inside Spotify’s app a device to play through. So I can see the Marantz as well as the Vault. I don’t know what the difference is whether I choose Marantz or Vault. Either one sounds similar.
