Hi,

I’m searching for a mini amp for my office, able to drive my monitor audio 50.
This bit is easy, the hard bit is the following.

I’m mainly using Apple music via airplay, with the new Apple hardware release having Bluetooth 5.3 i expect that we would « soon » be able to stream (finally) lossless.

So i’m searching for a mini amp, maybe future proof with:
- Airplay 2 (easy)
- Usb-c in (for wired connection)
- Bluetooth 5.3 (hard)

What are you opinion on this task to finally stream lossless from Apple music?
There is also the possibility that Apple would release some kind of Homepod or Airport with an output, where you can use an HandOff function to select music from your iphone and stream it in this device with lossless wired to a mini amp.

Thanks for the recommandations.

However additionally it would require a DAC to connect the WiiM Mini ti the amps.

I would rather hope to find something all-in-one bjt maybe it’s not existing yet with the requirements i have.

But i’m still open to any idea on how to « stream » or handoff music from Apple music in lossless.
