Airplay is an Apple thing, so not supported on the LG v50. Bluetooth AptX only supports up to 24/96. So, that means my Hi-res gets down sampled; not acceptable. Bluetooth has a max range of 30 feet.
There are many wifi streaming devices, such as SONOS, Play-Fi, ect,; it's a long list and I don't know them all.
I have multiple Play-Fi devices that support up to 24/192, but was looking for something more "Audiophile" for the Office. That was my motivation for choosing the M10 because it supports 24/192, DSD and has room correction to boot. Unfortunately, BluOS pulled the streaming music from your phone function for security reasons.
The DAC in the V50 is very good. The output amplifier is just OK. I don't want to "hard wire" my phone to my amplifier because I use it for other things such as making calls, email, texting and general wasting of time.
BTW, they make Bluetooth receivers that you could plug into your preamp and get rid of the wire. However, this might not sound as good as hard wiring.
Finally, I do have a dedicated music server, but I'm trying to get rid of it. I'm the only one here that listens to music seriously, so no reason to have it anymore if the phone acts as a server. Also, one less thing to maintain.
