Today, I finally got a chance to test AirServer for Mac. Its difference from Airfoil is that it has a Lossless Airplay channel which allows your iPhone or iPad to stream lossless music to your Mac. Using my iPad, I downloaded QNAP's QMusic HD app to play all music files stored on my QNAP TP-212P NAS. QMusic's indexing of music files is quick, almost instantly. Interestingly, when you start up QMusic it will has a Spotlight page with some music suggestions.
I can't comment on the SQ as I think I have tin ears, but overall quality is good. QMusic can play most of my music which are in FLAC, WAV, APE and CUE. It plays all bitrates 16/44.1, 24/96 or even 24/192, but whether it streams to Mac at these bitrates or not, I can't tell.
