I have the AirPods Max usb-c and an iPhone 14 (lightning). Can I use a lightning to usb-c cable to connect them to use the new lossless feature for the AirPods Max? (I have the latest IOS and firmware updates installed)

iPhone 14, iOS 18
Short answer: No.
A bit longer answer: Unfortunately, connecting these devices using a Lightning to USB-C cable won't enable lossless audio playback. The iPhone 14's Lightning port doesn't support digital audio output directly to the AirPods Max via such a cable.
To experience lossless audio with your AirPods Max, a direct USB-C to USB-C connection is required. This setup allows for 24-bit/48 kHz lossless audio playback, as Apple has detailed in their recent announcements. However, since the iPhone 14 lacks a USB-C port, this direct connection isn't possible.

Ok, thank you for the information.
You're very welcome!
