With this WiiM, you can use AirPlay from an IPhone and use Apple Music lossless. Its then limited to 16 bit 44,1/48 kHz, and much better than Spotify connect.No USBAPPP doesn't work with Apple Music only Qobuz and Tidal. BubbleUpnp Audio Cast works with Apple Music and provides gapless playback but resolution limited to 44.1/16
Amirms review can ( maybe ) show if there is some bad SRC going on in this unit with AirPlay - ie everything becomes 48 kHz the same way as in Yamaha wxc50 in preamp mode.
