Outside of the fixed 16/44.1 format, are there any known sound quality issues with AirPlay? I know that theoretically, it uses the Apple Lossless Audio Codec which should guarantee a lossless transfer of data (again, assuming a source with 16/44.1 format). But the theoretical world and the practical world don't always agree
. Has anybody ever made any measurements to verify the quality of the audio provided by AirPlay?
I currently use AirPlay 2 in my "daily driver" setup. I send my music (all lossless 16/44.1) using AirPlay 2 to an AirPort Express which is connected to my DAC via TOSLINK. I have never experience any sound quality issues myself, other than a small gap in the audio once in a blue moon (I assume due to network issues).
