Yes AirPlay is derived from the older AirTunes. There was room for
improvement, I guess we can suppose that if Denon et al. decide to pay
the tax and integrate the adhoc chip, either the protocol is much
better than before (it can do video, so things have changed), or this
is cheaper than a physical iPod dock.
Besides, Logi hasn't been sooo much into audio features lately, more
into color screens and facebook applets...
Methinks this Airtunes thing is an issue.
