Yes... It does but that is because SKYQ had it and Roon can use it. The 210 doesn't have it but Roon can use RAAT... in that scenario.

My point isn't whether there is use for Airplay in general, but, more so with the 210.

I can see that scenario although have zero sympathy for it wink iTunes is truly awful and they should be on Roon anyway using RAAT.

I agree with you both that it is an incomplete feature set. I was just wondering how it might stream to a Prime headphone setup to get the max out of that. But I cannot. The SPDIF/SpeakerLink will be limited to 96 and there is no USB to feed the Prime with up to 192.
