After the latest update I dont see the option to set Airplay 1 as a setting specifically (Vs Airplay 2). It is a generic 'Airplay' setting now under 'Renderers'. Airplay 1 is 16bit/44.1Khz whereas Airplay 2 compresses everything to Lossy 256Kbps. Most IOS/MAC devices (sender) out there use Airplay 2 and thus if the receiver (Moode) is Airplay 2 as well, the quality gets degraded with lossy compression. Wondering if there is still the option to set Airplay 1 somewhere.
Here is more detail on the Airplay resolution - https://darko.audio/2023/10/apple-airpla...its-lossy/
AirPlay 1 has been abandoned in favor of AirPlay 2 also because the procedure to allow switching between the two wasn't stable and could lead to parasitic modules installed and/or non-working setup.
If you really need it there should be a way, but it:
1. will be totally manual (be prepared to some Linux console)
2. will not be easily reversible (and again done by hand... but I think you won't be looking back, will you)
Bear in mind that I could be totally wrong in this very moment, as maybe, due to lates OS / dependencies updates it could indeed be non-feasible... it's already been a while.
Surely someone (maybe mr @Tim Curtis) could give you some directions.
