WiiM Mini AirPlay 2 + Amp Pro for Apple Music?

Yeah, that clarification was needed.

Similar price of FiiO SR11, but the SR11 is lossless whereas the Belkin is not. Pick your poison.

So, any advantages of the SR11 over a WiiM Mini?

And here’s another silly thought I had - WiiM Mini into a Vibelink. I don’t need all the other features of the Amp
Pro or Amp Ultra, and that combo is about $140 cheaper than the Amp Ultra.

WiiM Mini is also AirPlay2, so not lossless. Your call if you can tell the difference.

WiiM Mini into a Vibelink.

If you're ok with having to use either the physical power switch on the back or (bluetooth) app power option in the app to turn on the vibelink, then sure.
Otherwise I'd suggest a pro with a trigger cable, but then that's not as much of a saving over the amp ultra.

Lots to ponder here. Many of the options suggested are a little more complicated than I care to pursue; but mainly, without switching to a different streaming service, I’m not going to hear much of an improvement. I think I’ll stick with my current setup and upgrade to an Amp Ultra once my other more critical expenditures settle down. Thank you everyone for all your input.
