Aside from price savings of $35 dollars from an airport, what is the benefit of it vs the an airplay, if your using it in a home environment (not car)

The major difference as you already pointed out is the price. However, I also believe the AirEnabler is much more easy to configure versus the AirPort Express. Lastly, you have the added advantage of being able to use a 3rd party USB DAC and the flexible to use it in your car or for a portable speaker system setup.

I was using the AirEnaber for the car which did not have airplay. Since it didn't't work in the car I used the enabler on my Bose wave radio in the bedroom to make the Bose Airplay enabled. In this way I am able to play all the songs from my iPhone through the Bose.

I have mixed result. If you have WiFi WPS extender in your house - it get to be very flaky. However, if your WiFi router is connected via hardwire or you have a rather strong WiFi connectivity - this device works great. The awesome aspect of it is - you can join an existing WiFi and your router becomes AirEnabled! I have used it in my car - and it works great there too.

I don't think there is a benefit other than the cost savings. You do get the car/house power plugs, and the microUSB cable, but that's really it.

Its a more compact and portable version of the airport express. Both are wifi streaming device for airplay. Airport Express does have one extra port for WAN/LAN connection if you need it.

At home it works just as good as if in a car. It's small and easy to hide along with ease of use. It's a great product overall and I recommend it.

Bluetooth is different from Airplay and it is inferior in single strength and sound quality among many other things. This has Airplay built in and it works great.

They live as devices on your Wifi network so you can have as many of them as you want.iTunes Airplay supports multiple speakers concurrently. iPhone Airplay only supports a single speaker.

It has aux function, and I think wifi for Airplay function. Please reference http://www.ihomeaudio.com/iW3SC/ , thx.

I have the A4, so perhaps there is a difference, but I know of no adapter. The A4 is a stand alone unit that utilizes airplay to allow your mac, iPad or iPhone to play your music. The initial connection can be cumbersome, but once established it's a no brainer to play your music via airplay.

Hello John and thank you for your inquiry. The NAD D3020 does not support AirPlay. Although you could add an Apple Airport Express to it to enable AirPlay. We're here to help so please let us know if you have any additional questions! Thanks again, Scott G and the rest of the ListenUp sales team 1.877.744.1179

Good point. I am on the verge of buying 2 of the airport express. One for the living room and the other for my bedroom. The one difference I would see is that airport express has only a single Analog out (RCA jack).. while compared to this squeeze box - as optical out and L/R output. Before I drop $200 on two of the airport express , curious to know how squeeze box is better than airport express.

No AirPlay. But you can just connect an iPhone via Bluetooth which is still pretty easy

The direct connect won't work , the prongs are the old kind. But it will play via AirPlay as long as ya have wifi

I think it will depend on how you are playing the movies. Or what software or ap you are using Example - I can watch movies on iTunes via AirPlay on the 1050.

I have not had the chance to use it with the airport express. it does have a audio jack and I have plugged iPods and my iMac in this speaker. it works great for background music.

It most certainly does. Both use AirPlay. You would want to be sure you are getting the in with a Lightning connector, not a 30 pin connector.

No, this is only a signal converter. For using Airplay you would need an apple tv.

You will need a BT adapter. It does have airplay along with airplay having better sound quality versus BT

I have the same question as I would like to send one to my parents in Europe. Does anyone know the answer? Also, Can you play the same music through airplay on more that one unit simultaneously? (If I had one in different rooms, would they all play the same thing I launch ?)

It is not airplay compatible. It uses proprietary software to communicate via wifi.

Any product you see claiming to have Airplay would have it built-in, not requiring purchase of an Apple product. If it didn't it's blatant false advertising. This is a great receiver.
