Frequency response while streaming stops at 15kHz- did I miss something in the fine print?


I am streaming with Qobuz.  It sounds great playing both CD quality and hi-rez music.  So what's the trouble?  While working to get the bass response in my room just right I found test tracks on Qobuz.  This was very handy as I played 30-60 Hz test tones over and over.  So when I was done with that I streamed a pink noise track and pulled up the FFT analyzer app on my iPhone.  Surprisingly, I see the trace drop straight down to 0 dB above 15 kHz.  I streamed some test tones and confirmed that above 15 kHz nothing is happening at the speakers.  In my old and decrepit state I can no longer hear above 15 kHz so I am relying on the app.  In a panic that something is wrong with my speakers I pull out my vinyl test record.  I have a nice, pretty flat frequency response from 20-20 kHz showing on the FFT app.  I put in a test CD and again show a good 20-20k.  Lastly, I ripped the test CD onto my server and again had a good 20-20k response.  So why did I not know about the limited bandwidth while streaming?  Is it just me?  It is an abrupt cutoff above 15 kHz while streaming.  What's going on?

@tonywinga You should be a little more careful before posting. Everyone in a tizzy over miscalculation, this is exactly how misinformation is spread.

I applaud you for quickly acknowledging your mistake.

I will agree with Nonoise that optimized streaming will be great sounding, but not inexpensive or simple to accomplish.
Well clearly the issue was never qobuz service as best I could tell and now we know it was a particular recording in this case a test recording. Not uncommon for individual recordings to have severe limitations that may or may not matter. Case solved.
It's not the limitation of iPhone microphone it's a limitation of the way apple wireless devices stream. 

The stream actually passes through the phone and apple compressed it.
