Brilliant news!
A good friend of mine LOVES my Uniti Atom and was considering buying one and some suitable speakers.
However, he also wants bedroom & kitchen speakers - this Airplay 2 opens up a wider choice of wireless makes instead of the rather expensive Muso and QB which he can't afford as well as an Atom.
