Got an Airport Express delivered today and am trying it out. My impression in a brief period is it's nice addition. Tidal works through iOS and Airplay, but gapless is inconsistent so Tidal through Spark is better. The big advantage is I can use the Remote app to stream gapless from my iMac to the Phantoms through Airplay. Apple Music albums are integrated as well and it's seamless. You can also do Apple Music through the Music app, but I find Remote is a better way to control my local library instead of Spark. Sound quality is good, much better than a Chromecast. I can only imagine Airplay sounds better natively through the Dialog or Gold Phantoms. Airplay is simple way to bypass Spark until it improves although Spark still sounds the best.
