Device to stream apple music to amp

[MichaelHo]

Hi all,

After giving my apple tv to my parents I am looking for a device, apple tv alternative, to be able to stream apple music from my phone to my home theatre amp. Ideally something with a digital out so that my amp does the DAC work.

I know that Sonos is an option but that gives a analogue out as far as I know. Are there any other alternatives?

Thanks,
Michael

Airport express:

Has a digital optical out.

Apple TV will do just as well.

There's 3rd party AirPlay receivers available too.
