Hello!

For those who don´t know:

If you stream Songs from Apple Music to your receiver it´s not always lossless (but the app tells you it´s lossless).

The easiest way to see if your iphone sends in lossless airplay 1 mode or in lossy airplay 2 mode is to look on you iphone.
The connected receiver is either only marked with a tick (lossless) or with a tick in a circle (lossy).
For more information watch Darko Audio´s Video on youtube.
I personally use the first gen (second edition) airport express (A1264) too stream lossless.

Having a lot of trouble with Airplay 1 compatibility in the new version of ROPIEEE. Mostly seems to be with device reservations that won't release.
