Belkin SoundForm Connect AirPlay 2 Adapter & Airplay 2 Receiver - Wireless Streaming for Apple Devices to Bluetooth Speakers - Optical & 3.5mm Speaker Inputs for iPhone 15, 14, MacBook Pro, & More

This is a one trick pony that performs just as one would expect. We are using this device in an Apple environment. Getting the device recognized on an iPhone 11 was a chore. I don't know if it was using the camera or NFC, but it took many tries with the Home app. Once successful it has never again needed the home app. A few times over the past couple of months the Soundform has failed to show up on my list of devices: a power cycle on the beast rectifies the problem. Some reviewers have moaned the cost of the Soundform. I wonder how much the licence cost to use Airplay.

Great wireless audio - But terrible product description at top. This is for running audio from iPhone or any Apple device through wireless home network to your amplifier and speakers. It replaces old and discontinued Apple airport device perfectly. It is not for Bluetooth. If you don’t know what you are looking for that top product description will not help. I have used Apple airport for years to feed wireless audio from iPhones and computers into my high end stereo amp. This does the same. Perfectly integrated into Apple iPhone software. Note that you need an iPhone running OS18 and higher for setup and Apple devices with recent versions of OSX. Immediately available as audio output on all home Iphones and my Mac computers after simple setup. I ran this against my old Apple Airport to evaluate sound. It is just as good, and the Airport has very good audio resolution — That I tested years ago in detail. Absolutely no problem with device, but I do have a strong wireless signal throughout our house. Presently I am using the analog output. It is good. I may hook up optical output to my DAC and then to amp— but as of now I am fine with audio. I am driving a very good amplifier and high end stereo speakers with this system. Nothing through wireless will satisfy the audiophile snob — which I once was. But it is far superior to a Bluetooth connection. We tried that. Forget it. Use wireless if you can. Seamless connections for all the family. Hope they don’t discontinue this product. I bought it now as insurance against death of my 17 year old Airport, which is still working just fine. But for now, this has replaced it. Good luck. It works !

Setup couldn't be easier by just bringing your iPhone next to the unit, just like AirTags and Airpods. AirPlay streams losslessly unlike Bluetooth, if you use it to hookup your HiFi, its like the best of both worlds. For Bit-perfect audio, your volume on your device must be set to 100% volume, adjust the loudness on your HiFi side.

I was looking for a small and reliable AirPlay device since long for my farm house where I can play my music to all my outdoor speakers and inside music system together. Since my indoor Bose system has inbuilt AirPlay I needed another AirPlay device which has AirPlay too to connect to my amplifier, and this the one. I have tried many other AirPlay device but the main issue was with them was sound lags. This one perfect 👍

I have a bunch of legacy amplifiers that drive outdoor speakers, ceiling speakers and other applications where AirPods are not an option. The Connect brings them into the AirPlay 2 family perfectly. I had no problem configuring with iPhoneX and as long as wifi signal is good - no dropouts. I'll be buying more.
