Apple must have been aware of bluetooth data transfer restrictions when designing AirPod Max.. Seems odd that they didn't include onboard storage for lossless songs, or enable lossless support for AirPod Max while tethered to a MacBook.
If this is a codec issue as the article indicates is there any potential for a software fix?
BT 5.0 in theory could probably stream lossless so it is a bit weird they didn't consider it. Maybe they did and it wasn't really stable enough longer distances.
But not being able to be tethered without using a digital to analog to digital adapter is so silly. Come on apple.
