Apple airplay has been quite reliable and easy to use for me. No buffering, sounds equal to Amazon HD. Just launch Apple music app and connect.
Apple Music HIFI edition
I left Spotify as it does not offer HIFI and went to Apple Music hifi. I then discovered that Apple Music does not offer connectivity to my streamer (NAD C658) (Blue sound app) or any streamer for that matter. So I believe connecting via air play is the only option. My question is whether I would be better off with Spotify connecting as a source inside my Streamer (non hifi) vs Apple hifi via air play?
Also-not interested in Tidal or qobuz. Tidal’s shuffle feature plays the same 30 songs over and over again. Qobuz you cannot even create a station. Good lord. Terrible algorithms imo.
