But there are so many AV amplifiers that support AirPlay ... anyway,
you're right and I'm pleased to have a few happy users and I use it
every day too for my own. My graal was to able to sync Sonos, but they
are totally secretive with their protocol. I even had a fight with one
guy (not a staff member) on the Sonos forum about that. 

Now, with a Pi3, it's so easy to have a powerful LMS server that it's a
shame to see that system vanishing. Adding squeezelite that could be
integrated to anything and iPeng, this is really the best system I've
tried. I've made my Boom autonomous and now between my own library,
UPnP, GoogleCast, AirPlay, Qobuz, RadioParadise, YouTube, a TV Replay
and a special podcast manager I've made, I have the ideal system :-)

I have a million thanks especially to Triode, Michael and Pippin
