Maybe not. OK, AirPlay does have protocol limitations when compared, say, to Roon RAAT, but the implementation is important also. The link above is to a comment from myself regarding CI board AirPlay, but in contrast I have used AirPlay (Shareport AirPlay emulator) via both the microRendu and sMS-200Ultra, the latter two actually sound very good. As good as Roon RAAT? No. But the difference is relatively small. If done well, AirPlay with 16/44.1 material can sound good. So maybe what @amabrok is discovering is that Aurender has done a very good job with their AirPlay implementation.
