Requirements
Hi-Fi streaming requires a minimum internet speed of 5 Mb/s. A faster, stable connection can help provide a smoother FLAC listening experience, particularly when streaming at the highest available quality. Higher-quality audio also uses more data, so consider using Wi-Fi or adjusting your mobile data settings if your data allowance is limited.
