Nangona i-Apple isebenzisa ifomathi yobunini ngaphandle kokulahleka komgangatho obizwa ngokuba yi-ALAC (i-Apple Lossless Audio Codec), ifomathi ehambelana kuphela neemveliso ze-Apple, uluntu lwe-audiophile lusebenzisa ifomathi ye-FLAC, ifomathi ehambelana namaqonga amaninzi.
Kwiinkcukacha ze-HomePod, iinkcukacha esele zisesidlangalaleni, ekubeni i-Apple ibhengeze umhla wokuqaliswa kwesi sixhobo, sinokubona ukuba i-FLAC yefomathi yelahleko ihambelana njani ne-HomePod, eya kuvuyisa abathandi bomculo, kwaye Iya kuvumela i-Apple ukuba ifumane imvume yolu luntu.
Musa ukubhidanisa ifomathi ye-FLAC kunye nefomathi yomgangatho ophezulu onikezelwa yi-Spotify kunye ne-Apple Music, esebenzisa ukunyanzeliswa kwe-256 ukuya kwi-320 Kbps. Abasebenzisi be-Apple baye bahlala bebuza abafana baseCupertino malunga nokuhambelana kwale fomati, ukuhambelana esinako. okwangoku zifumane zombini kwi-macOS nge-QuickTime, kunye nesicelo seeFayile ze-iOS, kodwa AKUKHO kwi-iTunes, isigqibo ekungekho mntu ubonakala esiqondayo kwaye ithiyori ayinasizathu sicacileyo, kodwa ukwazi iApple, izizathu zayo ziya kuba nazo, izizathu mhlawumbi asinakuze sizazi.
Ifomathi yeFLAC, eyenzeka ngempazamo ngumthombo ovulekileyo (ngoko ke iApple ayinyanzelekanga ukuba ihlawule ukunika ukuhambelana kwizixhobo zayo), kubaluleke kakhulu ukuba ukwazi ukonwabela umculo ngeAirPlay ngeHomePod, kuba ukudlala ngeBluetooth kunciphisa umgangatho ofanayo ( ngaphandle kokuba sisebenzisa i-codec ye-Apt X), ngenxa yeemfuno ze-bandwidth. Enkosi kwitekhnoloji ye-AirPlay 2 ye-HomePod, ukulahleka komgangatho, ukuba kukho, ngu-zero, ke iya kuba yenye yeefomati ezisetyenziswa kakhulu ngabo bonke abantu abafunayo. yonwabela zonke iinuances ngokupheleleyo ezibanika iingoma abazithandayo.
