WiiM Amp Pro & Airplay

[dmd]

We got an official statement re: Airplay and Ultra ( https://forum.wiimhome.com/threads/wiim-ultra-no-airplay.4419/ ).
Any chance of getting an official statement for Airplay support in the Amp Pro?

Like many, after reading all the rave reviews of the WiiM Amp I made the mistake (ok, my bad) of buying the Pro, thinking it was a superset/better sound version of the WiiM Amp. I'm quite pleased with sound quality (tested with FLAC and record player) but also convenience for streaming (Spotify). Still hanging on that shred of hope that WiiM is working on bringing back Airplay - or any other kind of Apple Music integration (besides BT).

Also, I will admit I am not fully sure I understand what is the actual problem (I have seen mentions of hardware limitations but also Apple making it hard for vendors, etc. Which one is the real problem here?).

Notes:

1. Yes, I did scour this forum but only found discussions and speculations... maybe I have missed something more official. If so, thank you for clarifying.
2. No need to comment here on audio qualities of Airplay or "why not BT?". To want both enhanced sound quality for some sources (ex: FLAC files) and convenience with others (ex: Apple Music or Spotify) is not incompatible.

Thanks folks!

I don’t think WiiM have said anything “official” beyond that Ultra post and I doubt if they’d publish any of the background reasons in a public forum, so you’re probably best raising a ticket direct to them via the app feedback section and see if you get anything more informative.
