reflows

What I want from this product is a lot simpler than you folks. I just want a device that sends digital music to my (wired) home stereo and plays well with my other Apple devices. All it would need to meet my needs is to have a way to output digital music via an aux port or an adapter that fits USB C. That's it! I'd love a replacement for Airport and an ethernet port, but really it just needs to be able to run apps and put out an audio signal somehow and I'd buy it. There are very few devices out there that I've found that will do this and integrate well with Apple. I've used an old iPhone for this, and have a device called a Grace Link that meets what I'm looking for clumsily, but Apple could pull it off a lot more nicely and reliably. I'd rather have an iDevice that does this than to spend a whole lot more on a network receiver that still doesn't integrate well with the apple ecosystem.
