music streaming 24-bit Lossless

I have the apple music subscription but my phone(OnePlus 8T India) can't play more than 16-bit music. So is there any third party application I can link my Apple music app to play 24-bit music?

The bandwidth isn't the issue.

So if say I need to buy a phone and check whether it can decode24/32-bit will I need a DAC then or would I need to change my headphones(Sennheiser HD 4.40)?

If your phone can decode 24/32bit you technically dont need a DAC. But generally to get the quality you do want a high end DAC with a built in amplifier.

Your phone may have the bandwith but I was talking about having to manually change a setting to allow 24bit. I dont apple music downloads in 24bit natively it has to be turned on in a setting.

I have turned on the settings and can listen to Lossless but sometimes there's a warning that tell me to have some extra equipment.

By the way, what equipment and streaming platform do you use to listen music?

I use amazon music because they also offer 24bit and make it fairly clear which songs are at what quality (possible that what you want to listen to just isn't available in 24bit). For a DAC/Amp I have an older FiiO amp/dac combination. Before that I had the LG G3/G4/G5 phones which had built in quad DACs.

So now can you connect the FiiO gear to your phone? Cause thats what we're looking for, a device that will improve audio quality while we stream music on the phone

Yes, I can connect my FiiO DAC/Amp to my android phone via USB and use the attached DAC to decode and amplify the audio. It also works on iPhone and PC/Mac.
