Can the internal networking features be turned off completely to minimize "noise"?
I read thru this thread and it feels like nobody is really raving about this thing ? im very curious how this new chip sounds ?
This latency issue is a well-known shortcoming of AirPlay. There are workarounds.
AirParrot is one solution:

It contains (or used to, anyway) a video player that allows you to adjust the video playback latency so you can sync it to your audio.
I have been for a while, connected via XLR. Nice upgrade to the HA-1.
Also, you might want to try sending the audio via DLNA instead of AirPlay.
I am playing music from Apple Music (iTunes).
I use Amarra SQ as a parametric equalizer.
My current setup on my Mac:
iTunes -> Amarra SQ (software audio device) -> DAC
Even without SQ in the middle, is it possible to use DLNA?
I think the easiest way for me would be just to wire it up via USB and call it a day.
