The Best Apple AirPlay Streamer
Now that the Apple AirPort Express is going away, what is the best AirPlay streamer available?
Only Apple AirPlay. No UPnP, ChromeCast or other network protocol/service. Something simple that just does AirPlay.

@Mahler123 The Elac is close, but it has more features/services than we need and we don’t want Roon. Nothing against Elac or Roon, it just doesn’t fit this application. The main goal with this application is to create a high quality AirPlay only source (end-point) so that it works seamlessly and nativity with iTunes, Mac OS and iOS. By the way, the Apple HomePod is a great speaker for kitchens and bathrooms. We use them a lot for projects where clients want sound throughout their home. The HomePod is better than most cheap sounding in-walls and two of them easily fill a large room. Thanks for your reply and the recommendation! Allan www.In-Tone.com |
@pratorious Agreed! AirPlay is easy, native to Apple and can sound great when setup properly. I’m more open to different protocols and services, but most of my clients are using Apple products and need a high quality way to play music and media without the fuss of additional components and adjustments. We have a good stock of AirPort Express units because we knew this day would come, and we’ve finalized an “in-house” solution. We are surprised there are not more options available. |
