As Nico says, Airplay 2 and its ability to add an external DAC where the benefits.Interesting - I’ve also got the WXAD-10
Can you please summarise the advantages of the Airport Express over the Yamaha other than the above please.
Presently use Tidal, Spotify, BBC Sounds and my Amazon library via Airplay from an iPhone. Many thanks
Airplay 2 has no quality improvement, but it can be grouped with other Airplay 2 devices. Also Airplay 2 can exist as a HomeKit entry, allowing me to bark orders at Siri!
I've recently added a HomePod mini and hooked in various things like Hue; HomeKit's a pretty decent aggregator to be fair and I hated the Alexa skills way of doing things.
I found I never used anything but my WXAD-10 with Airplay so it was a no-brainer. That said, I only did it because I found myself with a spare good DAC.
