Thank you. I’ve been searching for a way to integrate both Apple Music and iTunes/Music app to access my Lossless audio in my library when using a mixture of NAD CS1 and WIIM Pro streamers. The issue is that iTunes/Music app doesn’t play well and disconnects from the devices when playing via Airplay.
I run Apple Music on my iPad Mini 6 with an attached FiiO KA1 DAC. From there I use a 3.5mm cable into my Meridian Prime with RCA to a Denon AVR-2805 and Pioneer HPM-60 speakers.
I’m not suggesting you purchase a Meridian Prime, but figure out a way to integrate Apple Music into your audio system without using Roon for that.
