    HomeKit AirPlay 2 / HomeKit / iTunes integration?

    So, AirPlay 2 looks/looked promising, especially since my current setup is AirPlay [and since apparently my Denon 4400 is going to get AirPlay 2 support]. Thinking about getting a Sonos One to replace the Phillips Fidelio Soundring I have in my bedroom. A few questions: HomeKit still doesn't...

    HomePod Can you AirPlay audio to a Stereo Homepod pair from Mac by putting an Apple TV in-between?

    Ok so since I don't have an Apple TV myself, I'd like to ask if someone with an Apple TV and two (or even just one) HomePod can confirm whether or not the following is possible. I know that you can stream audio to a Stereo HomePod pair from an Apple TV 4th and 5th generation via AirPlay 2, and...

    Video Streaming via Bluetooth

    Hello guys. I bought an Apple TV under the assumption that I could just mirror my phone screen to my TV to watch videos so I wouldn’t have to use my Wi-Fi hotspot.

Its a great place for it since I can watch TV, Movies in bed or play games, check/ respond to emails in a comfortable setting at the low profile IKEA desk that sort of sits under it. Its notably terrible...

    Airplay 2

    Airplay 2 has introduced multiroom streaming and some better (read more stable) streaming, hopefully resulting in fewer dropouts etc. All this multiroom stuff is nice of course, but nowhere have I seen any tech specs on Airplay 2, what I am interested in is if the quality of the audio format...
