Apple Music
After listening to the latest Darko episode can someone tell me if the Powernode 2is hardware is airplay 1 or airplay 2. I know it says airplay 2 but according to Darko IOS downsamples to lossy when using airplay, if the receivers hardware is airplay 2. Now, apparently the hardware can be airplay 1 and still do multi room. So my question is. Is the hardware airplay or airplay 2.
I hope I’ve explained this properly

Thank you mate. Have you watched the episode? Just so I know I’ve explained it correctly 👍🏼
if so, then when streaming from your phone it’s not lossless it’s lossy 🤷♂️

Absolutely yes, nothing new unfortunately. I like to link to this page…

Basically it’s a right mess on Apple’s part. Airplay 2 can send lossless / bit perfect but just not using Apple Music on iOS. Then some bang on about how Sonos has Apple integration but don’t realise it’s AAC at 256 kbps.
