      Hi John – AirPlay 2 adds the ability to allow Apple’s HomeKit to communicate with speakers. You can send audio to multiple supported ‘receiver’ speakers at once for multiroom activity. There’s also improved audio buffering, integration with Siri voice control and multiple control access across iOS devices
