And that it supports various bit depths and sampling rate.
Now that Devialet has finally done the job with AirPlay 2, it would good that Deezer, Spotify and the likes do their part to enable it full potential.

- e.g. LPCM, AAC, mp3, or ALAC
- e.g. 44.1 kHZ or 48 kHZ
- various bit depths
The AirPlay 2 Audio SDK Integration Guide, R1 of 2021/02 specify only ALAC and AAC as codec, anything else is transcoded...
