    • too bad. I like themGnash
    • Kind of obvious. They don't want you to turn your home stereo into an AirPlay device with Airport Express.
      HomePod is your AirPlay device now.      rafalski
    • @rafalski, DERP, that makes no sense: AirPlay is built in to tons of A/V receivers and many other devices besides HomePodmonospaced
    • I AirPlay to my stereo systems every single day, all day, and have been doing so for at least 6 yearsmonospaced
    • long list of well-established hi-fi manufacturers signed up to AirPlay 2.

      Naim, Bose, B&O, Devialet, Dynaudio, Bowers & Wilkins, Bluesound, Libraton and Denon      monospaced
    • You're proving my point listing pricey gear. Airport lets you turn anything, even a set of powered speakers into an AirPlay device (as I'm doing in one room).rafalski
    • Now even if there are cheaper Airport capable devices, for many the choice will be either something premium or — Airport Express gone — the HomePod.rafalski
    • There’s tons of cheap brands that support airplay. This is for airplay 2 which was just announced. Of course high end is first in line ffs.monospaced
    • All I’m saying is that you can use airplay for your audio without having a HomePod or Apple router, and it’s simple as fuck.monospaced
