And for those of you who are wondering what the heck I’m talking about: an A1392 costs about $40 on eBay and allows you to use a nice amplifier and speakers with AirPlay 2.

I’d never leave a HomePod outside on our deck.
But an A1392 with a cheap Class D amp in a waterproof box is an excellent setup for about $100.

One final note: you don’t have to use these devices for your Wi-Fi network: I have a full Ubiquiti setup and only use the AirPort Extremes in bridge mode.
They are just wireless DACs.
