Airplay and Bluetooth are both inferior in sound quality and reliability, in my experience.
Agreed, Amazon HD is poor value in terms of interoperability and app features, to play Amazon HD on a Hi-Fi you'd need some form of HEOS device (terrible), Sonos (not quite as unuseable as HEOS but poor for large local collections), a Bluesound Node 2i (never tried one but their interface is meant to be one of the better proprietary ones out there), or a low quality Amazon Echo device. It seems Amazon is not forthcoming to independent developers wanting to use their API so the UPnP apps are given the cold shoulder up to now.
That and the fact that Hi-Res audio is a tiny fraction of the content on any platform, Amazon Music HD is just not that good a deal.
