Apple has released an AirPlay 2 update for the small AirPort Express with digital audio output!
Well, if that’s not a nice touch. The model, which has been recently discontinued with all other AirPort routers and has remained unchanged on the market since 2012, has now given a new life’s work.
The new version installed via iOS App or AirPort Utility on the Mac now allows simultaneous music streaming together with other devices such as an Apple TV or Home Pod. Music is played back correctly in synch, without transmission delays.
