Compatibility:

XR and VR devices that allow local playback of MP3 and FLAC files
For listening our content with headphones or hearables the audio formats are two : FLAC and MP3.
FLAC (Free Lossless Audio Codec) is a compressed audio format that differs from traditional lossy compression methods. Unlike formats like MP3 or AAC, FLAC is a lossless compression, meaning it retains all the original audio data during compression without sacrificing quality. The compression in FLAC is achieved by encoding redundant data more efficiently rather than discarding it.
MP3 (MPEG-1 Audio Layer 3) format is a widely used audio file format that employs lossy audio compression to reduce the file size while maintaining a good level of sound quality. It was developed by the Moving Picture Experts Group (MPEG) and has become the de facto standard for online digital music files.
Compatibility:
Home Theaters (Optimal use case)
Soundbars & Smart Speakers (Check format compatibility)

Many modern media streamers from popular brands such as Nvidia Tv Shield, Apple TV, Roku, Amazon Fire TV, and others often support the “audio passthrough” feature to allow the unaltered transmission of audio to your external audio system.
It is advisable to check the product specifications or device settings to confirm the presence of this function.
