Music direct on Homepod or Airplay from iPhone

Hi,


Just got me some Homepods :-)


Is there any difference in sound quality, if you stream music directly on the Homepods, or if you use Airplay from your iPhone?

I can't hear any, but maybe there are some theoretical differences...

It is all digital so no, there shouldn't be. In some cases HomePod can take over control and connect directly to the source meaning data doesn't have to be sent to the phone and then on to the HomePod.
