Hello!
I know this has been discussed extensively on this forum and elsewhere but I haven't gotten any sufficiently resolving answers anywhere. The consensus seems to be that setting the Airplay receiver as the system output on a Mac allows for transmission in ALAC, and I was operating under this assumption for the longest time. But I could always hear the reduction in bitrate when compared to local Flac files, which shouldn't be the case for 16/44.4 files.
I checked my network monitor, and AirplayXPCHelper is only uploading at up to 140 KB/s. If this is the streaming speed, it is extremely unlikely to be lossless.
Is Shairport on moode compiled with the --with-alac flag? Does anyone know any more about getting lossless working with Shairport?
This is a really important use-case for me. Sorry if this question has been beaten to death, I just need a more knowledgeable other to hold my hand with this a little bit.
