Wired AirPlay 2 to Stereo RCA?

[Basic75]

Does anybody know a device that accepts AirPlay 2 audio via Ethernet and has a stereo RCA analog audio output?

The new Belkin Soundform Connect could do this if you used a 3.5mm to RCA cable connected to the audio out jack.

The internal DAC of the Belkin is probably not all that great, but if the goal is not to maximize sound quality this set up would work for you.

Wait, sorry… I missed the Ethernet part of your question. If you’re okay with WiFi instead, then my answer still stands…

I have a Roku Express 4k+ connected through ethernet (with adapter) and a Monoprice Blackbird 4K HDMI Audio Extractor and it works great with Airplay 2. I also have a Belkin Soundform Connect and the CD quality it produces is very good. Only problem is that the Belkin is a little expensive without the usually available discounts. The first option was actually less expensive.

Thanks, not quite what I'm looking for but it might get the job done.

Thanks, though that's exactly what I'm trying to avoid - having multiple devices heating up my room just to get audio into an old amplifier.

Airport express doing this for me…
