Welcome Charley, there are loads of topics about this. Apple Music does not have support for streamer platforms to talk directly to their catalog like other streaming platforms like Spotify, Tidal, Quobuz do. The only one is Sonos and that is an old "grandfathered" agreement. Eversolo is running the Android version of the Apple Music app but the Wiim is not based on Android. Also, the Ultra has no Airplay anymore. The mini, Pro, Pro Plus and Amp still do though. That is in an nutshell whats up with that.

hgo58's reply is much better than mine. ​

Note also that Eversolo's implementation of native Apple Music support is limited to Redbook grade (CD quality or 44.1KHz/16-Bit)...not that the vast majority of people could ever successfully and consistently tell that apart versus high-res in a level-matched blind A/B test.

Would an Apple TV3 with optical out to the Wiim do the trick?, they can be can very cheap, wanted to sell mine but so he prices and it wasn’t worth the hassle.

Nope unfortunately not. The TV 3 transcodes all audio to lossy 256 Kbps AAC. The Apple TV 4K can play lossless Apple Music but only up to 48Khz samplerate so no Hi-Res Lossless. Come on Apple what a mess!

If they continue to restrict al kinds of things Apple Music will never be a real success.
