This is factually false.
You need no "chipset" to send or receive AirPlay.
The AirPlay solution is all-software, and open-source implementations exist for both sides (source/sink), and are implemented in many open-source projects, like VLC.
ApexSink is the module for gstreamer (Devialet uses gstreamer on the Phantoms): https://github.com/agx/gst-plugins-bad/b...apexsink.h
Standalone the simplest sink is for example this one: https://github.com/abrasive/shairport
In summary, the issue at hand is only the licensing part with Apple and willingness of Devialet to add these "premium" software feature to the "non-premium" product lines.
P.S. If anyone would be able to get their hands on the firmware files, and/or disassemble their Phantoms to get to the Flash chips, this and many other features could be added by the community.
