When I streamed Apple Music lossless via my DAP directly to the sound system, it was a lot better.
I will use AirPlay for the rare occasions I need wireless convenience as I do with Bluetooth, not when I want to sit down and immerse myself in enjoyable listening sessions when quality absolutely matters to me.
If AirPlay was essentially nothing more than an AAC stream, then my observations would make complete sense.
I would love to do this but my bedroom speaker system is a large boombox with a subwoofer connected to a moode rpi through a lovely USB sound card. I could simply connect that sound card to my laptop, but I really want things to be wireless because of how convenient it makes everything..
