I have a MiniDSP SHD and mainly use Roon. My partner has a Spotify account which we can also play through the SHD using the Spotify client, all great!
He has however now decided he wants to use Apple music and, as far as I can tell, the only way to play Apple music through a HiFi is either by attaching a Mac (running Apple music) or to stream from an Apple device via airplay?
Airplay is flakey and unreliable on the SHD and, like using an attached Mac device, is reliant on the source device being on and 'present'. I find it much more convenient to use my Mac simply as a remote control i.e. selecting and starting music playlists etc and then being able to switch it off or move it away - as with Roon or the Spotify client.
Is there no hardware device I can connect to the SHD that will run Apple music for me? I thought the Apple TV box might do this but it does not appear to have any audio outputs.
