I went down this path. Here you go:ah...wait a minute...I thought their products had AirPlay, but looking at their pages it seems NOT?!? While my kid does have a Spotify account I could use, I have iPhone and MacBook and use Apple Music because I can upload my own stuff.
So WiiM are a nonstarter for me? Or how could I use Apple Music? (I had a bunch of old AirPort Express but none of them would sync to my laptops, so I'm not super keen to go down that rabbit hole again).
Wait...https://faq.wiimhome.com/en/support/solutions/folders/72000563301
says they all support AirPlay 2 except the Amp Pro and Ultra (an extremely peculiar design and marketing choice!). That's echoed in this chart

But then here on their product pages I do not see any AirPlay logo, making me paranoid/skeptical.
I guess the WiiM Amp is the logical choice for me...or Amp Pro fed from a Mini via optic, seems a bit odd.
???
BONUS QUESTION: are there any streamers that are configurable as AirPlay (original) thus truly running lossless?
Better than Airplay
If you have given up on Airplay with Wiim (curse you Apple) or your device doesn't have it, here's best option I've found: For those seeking: Wiim/Apple Music Ecosystem integration Apple Music navigation: view, select, play, pause from any Mac, iPhone, iPad, Watch Lossless music up to 24/48...
