Apple Airport Express Replacement

I have about a dozen non-airplay speakers that I connect to from iTunes.

Now that the Airport Express is being killed, what can I use to still be able to stream to all my speakers?

Any help is much appreciated

iMac, Mac OS X (10.0.x)

Replacement for Airport Express? I'd like to add another network speaker but reluctant to pay up for another Airport Express - market forces've pushed AX prices up due to its cancellation. Netgear range extenders with Ethernet ports are $20, Ethernet to Audio is even less - wondering if using a Netgear extender as front end to a powered speaker will allow Airplay. Thanks, Tom

Find/add the Airport Express in the Home app Hi I want to use the Airport Express (gen 2) connected to a speaker in the Home app. I click Add Accessory and then no code and it doesn't show? My airport expresses shows up fine in airport utility and I did the update after a factory reset. Airplay works from all my units to the Airport Express. Thanks Linus

Have a search around.. I can find wifi and bluetooth systems.. that would be possible to integrate with the Mac using alternative to airplay perhaps.. airfoil, air parrot etc.

I suspect these will in no way substitute for express. That is why I said you will need to rethink it anyway.

Also finding actual reviews of some of the cheap Chinese knock offs is going to be hard.. you might need to buy one .. and give it a whirl.
