If there is a big difference between AirPlay and optical, where you perceive AirPlay as better, I'd suspect some error on the optical. Optical should actually be on par with UPnP. Not identical, but about the same level of quality. When I switch between the optical and AES/EBU input of my 250 (both driven by a Mutec MC-3) there is a very small difference. AES/EBU is better, but not dramatically so.
