Replacement for Airport Express A1264

Question

Replacement for Airport Express A1264

I have an old home audio system (that I don't want to replace right now and sat in the house I bought last year) which used the Airtport Express A1264 device to stream music from a Nuvo system. I typically streamed music from Spotify on my ipad.

What product can I purchase to replace the A1264 device (which is totally dead)? I have raised the question on multiple forums (Sweden) but seems not to get much suggestions. Somebody suggested Ubiquitis Unifi, another suggested WiiM Mini Streamer Audio AirPlay 2.

Since this community is specialised in Apple products I though maybe somebody here knows something better / smarter.

Check sites like eBay or Amazon for an AirPort Express A1392.

The A1392 is a far superior device to the A1264 and runs much cooler. I have a few here that are 10+ years old and still working well.

I have not used the product linked below, but have seen a number of good test reports on this device:

AirPlay 2 Audio Adapter with Optical + 3.5mm | Belkin USBelkin https://www.belkin.com › P-AUZ002

Good luck!

Hello,

Bob Timmons may see this and offer some advice.

Otherwise, a short-term solution could of course be to look for an AirPort Express A1264 via an online auction site such as Tradera or eBay. However, since these devices now are more than twelve years old, various problems cannot be ruled out.
