With battleship build and 24-bit/192kHz maximum resolution, this lifts AirPlay, Apple’s underrated multi-room, wireless audio system, on to the audiophile Iron Throne. Fear not, old-school hi-fi heads: there are also optical and coaxial digital inputs here, so you can yap on about how much better they are.
