Depends on implementation. AirPlay Sender sends the volume metadata to the AirPlay receiver, separate from the bit perfect audio data. For some Lumin analog output products, AirPlay volume does not affect bit perfect transfer from the network to the dual or quad DAC chips internally. For Lumin digital output, Lumin will apply digital volume processing according to the AirPlay volume to output a volume-adjusted digital bit stream. This is no longer bit perfect. For shairport-sync, unless the integration takes special care to handle the volume, I assume it will output a volume-adjusted bit stream by default. I'll see if I can find anything on this when I have time, or you could just ask mikebrady. Feel free to correct me if I'm wrong.

If an Apple device runs AirPlay 2, it is never AirPlay 1. However, AirPlay2 can send and receive in two codecs: lossless ALAC and lossy AAC. It's up to the sender to choose whether it wants to send it lossless or lossy (perhaps for enhanced buffering to multi rooom). Peter Lie LUMIN Firmware Lead Link to comment
