Now that the Golds are supposedly getting Apple Airplay capability in a future update, can someone explain the advantage this offers? Does it allow adding EQ to the stream? Is it only for Apple users or can PC people use it also?
Thanks in advance for any insight.

AirPlay uses wifi, so potentially more stable, better range and bandwidth. Mac and iOS only, but some 3rd party apps may exist (e.g. Airfoil), but don't know about quality of those.

Not sure about EQ but Apple AirPlay is only for Apple products AFAIK. It's wifi based so it's automatically detected once the device is on the same wifi network. One advantage is there is no manual Bluetooth hunting to get connected. It's just present at all times to be selected. Another advantage is there is no need to use Spark. So I guess the feature would only benefit Apple users.

How can I use airplay when watching video? Is it something that only new macs can do? I have 2010 Mac Mini. What should be at the receiving end? Airplay to Apple TV for video and Airplay to Phantoms for sound?

Airplay streaming is lossless so better than Bluetooth
Airplay streaming is available to stream audio from any apps on iOS and Mac ( youtube, browser, souncloud ...)
So basically you can forget about Spark without adding any hardware

Can you change volume without Spark or do you have to buy Devialet remote? I would have bought the remote if it had volume display
