HubAmp Forges Strategic Partnership with Apple to Launch AirPlay Spatial Ecosystem
HubAmp Set to Deliver the World’s First Multi-Room Streaming Amplifier Supporting AirPlay Spatial, Redefining Whole-Home Immersion with Unprecedented 8x AirPlay 2 and Hi-Res Audio.
[USA, Denver] – December 2, 2025 – HubAmp, a leader in high-performance custom installation audio solutions, today announced a landmark strategic cooperation with Apple to enhance and expand the AirPlay ecosystem. The partnership’s core mission is to create the next generation of home integration, centered on the seamless delivery of AirPlay 2 and the pioneering support for AirPlay Spatial Audio in complex multi-room environments.
This collaboration positions HubAmp at the forefront of the industry, allowing it to introduce a series of unparalleled features in its new line of multi-room streaming amplifiers.
The Spatial Leap: First Multi-Room Amp to Support AirPlay Spatial
HubAmp is proud to confirm that its forthcoming multi-room streaming amplifier will be the world’s first to natively support AirPlay Spatial Audio.
While spatial audio has transformed personal listening experiences on headphones, its implementation across multiple independent listening zones has remained a technical challenge. HubAmp’s integration will leverage advanced DSP and network synchronization technology to accurately render three-dimensional sound fields in distributed audio zones, providing true, room-filling immersion that adapts to the listener’s environment.
“The listening experience should be boundless, not restricted by hardware or room acoustics,” says Yuan, CEO of HubAmp. “Our work with Apple is focused on execution. We are not just adopting a feature; we are building the definitive AirPlay Spatial ecosystem, ensuring the director’s intent is perfectly translated into every corner of the home.”
Unmatched Performance: The 8x AirPlay 2 and Hi-Res Advantage
The new HubAmp amplifiers are engineered to master both scale and fidelity, offering capabilities previously unavailable in the custom installation market:
- Industry-Leading 8x AirPlay 2 Zoning: HubAmp will be the first amplifier to support 8 independent AirPlay 2 zones. This unprecedented zoning capability allows users to stream eight unique audio sources—from eight different iOS devices or applications—to eight different rooms simultaneously, delivering true multi-user, multi-source flexibility.
- Full Hi-Res Audio Compliance: The amplifiers are built with robust internal architecture fully compliant with High-Resolution (Hi-Res) Audio standards, ensuring that even demanding 192kHz streams are delivered losslessly and simultaneously across all 8 zones via the AirPlay protocol.
Forging the Future of Home Integration
The commitment to AirPlay Spatial and 8x AirPlay 2 is central to HubAmp’s vision for the fully connected smart home:Seamless Integration: By deepening the technical cooperation with Apple,HubAmp amplifiers will offer unparalleled stability, ultra-low latency, and effortless integration into the existing Apple Home ecosystem, making setup and control intuitive for both integrators and homeowners.
A New Standard: This breakthrough sets a new, higher standard for multi-room streaming, moving the category beyond basic playback and into the realm of computational audio and cognitive immersion.
