I have a couple of Airport Express base stations installed specifically to use for Airplay. Will there be a firmware update that will support Airplay2? I heard AppleTVs will support it, not sure if it's just ATV4 and 4K or previous generations also. Any news on this?
Airport Express-OTHER
AFAIK, the 802.11n AirPort Express base stations do NOT support AirPlay 2. These devices were designed years ago before AirPlay 2 was even thought of. Apple slowly releases firmware updates, but never announces them beforehand. If I had to guess, it would take more than a firmware update to make these work.
As far as the Apple TV, only the 4th gen is reported by Apple to support AirPlay 2. I believe that the 4K model does as well.
