Airplay 2 now on - sounds good, but will that enable my Samsung TV?

Is it mainly that people with Homepods can use them in stereo now? (Which I get would be huge to them)

That’s part of it. I think there are also other devices that only work with AP 2 (some TV soundbars for instance? Not quite sure)

@vova

Over 10% of Roon listeners own HomePods, and starting today you can enjoy them with Roon as stereo pairs or in a hybrid array, maybe with an Apple TV. Simply create a stereo pair using the Home app, and Roon will treat them as a single stereo device.

You can also group HomePods with other AirPlay 2 or AirPlay 1 devices. And all your first-generation AirPlay devices will continue to work with Roon as well. This update is about expanding your options, not replacing them.
