Do you mean this set top box? https://www.apple.com/shop/buy-tv/apple-tv-hd/32gbno, just a 150$ top up box.
Yes, for listening to music. I see there's an Apple Music app for my Android phone and a web player I can use on computers. But how do I stream to the stereo in the living room? I have a Topping D50s and an integrated amp.For what? Apple lossless music? Looks like Android app doesnt support just yet but an upgrade is in the works. You'll need an external DAC to get stuff above 48khz sample rate though.

No, I don’t think so. The USB C port is only for service and support. I’m not sure if there is any way at all to hook up an Apple TV to a D50s.Do you mean this set top box? https://www.apple.com/shop/buy-tv/apple-tv-hd/32gb
I have a Topping D50s DAC but I don't think the Apple TV box's Thunderbolt/USB will work with that, or will it?
And I have an integrated amp with analog RCA connectors.

jinx ;-)Apple TV and HDMI audio extractor should work.
At present I have an RPi that works with Tidal or Qobuz but Apple has better selection than either of those.I'm no apple expert (gave up on itunes a couple of years ago, just looking at the same thing as you now its going lossless) but I think you have been given the best answer already- Apple TV. That, or some other box that support Apples own Airplay streaming solution. But there is no cost effective equivalent to the $40ish (and now defunct) Chromecast Audio for Apple that I am aware of.
Even Apple TV isnt really going to work for you as its not USB or optical out anymore.
So, unless you have a PC or mac that can run iTunes/ Apple Music desktop app on mac and connect to DAC via USB, I think you need to look at one of the other streaming services that integrates better with things like affordable bridges like Raspberry Pi and the like. Unless you want to run a USB out from your android phone to the DAC - but thats very limiting.

Oh well.
You can stream Apple Music to an RPi running Ropieee XL via Airplay.At present I have an RPi that works with Tidal or Qobuz but Apple has better selection than either of those.

Ah, no. I assumed iPhone, didn’t read enough of the back discussion. Sorry about that.Does Android apple music app do Airplay? Bloody nightmare all this.
A few years ago that was exactly its' selling point. And to exploit it, you had to install speakers in the ceiling, or, more commonly, buy speakers with an upwardly angled driver that would bounce sound off your ceiling. And a new Dolby Atmos AVR.That is definitely not what Atmos is all about.
It's definitionally a multichannel system with azimuth and some elevation Information. There is pretty much nothing it can do with two speakers.
