Pick up a older used Apple TV, one with Optical out for audio.
There is always someone selling one typically for $30 or less.
Works great for Airplay. Work’s wireless or wired.
How to get AirPlay into my older system.
I've got Sonos throughout my house. I have an old Sonos Connect hooked up to my older main system, optical into an Oppo CD player.
I've had lots of problem with my Sonos system but I've got all of them resolved except for the Sonos Connect. It glitches and drops out constantly. Thought I had that resolved several times but it is still an issue. Practically unusable even when hardwired via ethernet.
So I've given up on the Connect. And not willing to drop $400 on the newer Sonos Port.
So I would like to use my Qobuz service via AirPlay with my main system. The old Oppo does not support AirPlay.
Is there an inexpensive way to get AirPlay for my old system? I tried an old Apple TV and it did not seem to work well with AirPlay 2.
