Apple Music on Mac can show Lossless — but what is your Mac actually outputting?

Apple Music on Mac can show Lossless but what is your Mac actually outputting?

Audex Trace shows:

  • the actual playback format

  • bit depth and sample rate

  • your Mac output sample rate

  • whether playback and output are matched

  • upcoming queue quality estimates

There s also a free Compatibility Check, so you can test detection on your Mac before buying.

It can show:

  • The Mac output sample rate

  • Whether playback and output are matched

  • Playing Next quality estimates

  • Skip warnings before a queued track may fail or skip

Audex Trace - See real time codec, bit depth, sample rate for Apple Music

Audex Trace is a Mac mini player for Apple Music that shows what is actually playing in real time: codec, bit depth, sample rate, and output match status. It also shows Playing Next, estimates upcoming queue quality, and warns about tracks that may skip or fail before they interrupt playback.
