Hi Philippe,

the mystery is solved!!! :cool:

Today Denon customer service called me back. Apart from all the bla bla
like "we only guarantee Airplay to work with Apple devices" the guy told
me that there have been an update in the first week of August which is
not yet listed on the website (changelog etc.). This update introduces
*Airplay 2* ... and that's what broke it!

While I was checking the firmware history again (under the perspective
that the June update was *not* what did break it), I saw that the
November update on their website (which I've tested as a fallback) was
not complete! It only contained a "HWS update file" while the June
update contained in addition a HEOS update. So my though was that the
November update did downgrade the hardware/GUI part but not the HEOS
part (which likely contains the Airplay components).

So I went back to the June update and voila - Airplay is working again
;)

I have the updates disabled now on my Denon to stay at this firmware -
at least until the Airplay Bridge maybe one day will be compatible to
Airplay 2.

Also I need to WARN all forum members who are using similar AVR devices:
Stay away from updates which introduce AirPlay 2!!! This will break
things!

Thank you for your help, Philippe! It's highly appreciated!
