Are there any routers from other manufacturers that support Airplay like the Airport Express?
No.
Might be wise to stock up on a few more Expresses if your current devices are 3-4 years old or older and you want to continue to use AirPlay that way. Apple is still selling the Express online and in the stores......at full price.
As Bob has already mentioned, basically no. If you are dependent on using Express base stations, now may be a good time to buy a few extras. AFAIK, no other wireless router manufacturers have hinted about offering a similar product to the Express for AirPlay.
Good find Rudegar.. and it has pretty good reviews. Same thing is sold under lots of different brands.
It is only analogue out.. the express had the advantage of digital (via optical cable) or analogue.. as well as ethernet.. but for most people the router in the express is only a toy anyway. The Express extend wireless is useless once the other airports in the series are gone.. as apple used a propriety method of connection.
I would still say to people grab an Express while you can. Ethernet is always going to work better than wifi.. and the Express is just a lot more flexible.

I took your question at face value, which may have been my mistake.
There are no other routers that support AirPlay like an AirPort Express.
Thanks! I was afraid that might be the case. I have an older amplifier and speakers currently hooked up to my Airport Express.
