I agree. I use iPengs player capability a lot but with an Audioquest Dragonfly and headphones. Sending audio from iPeng to an AirPlay device uses the battery a lot and as you say introduces an extra hop. The AirPlay bridge approach is better if you have a suitable device. It will also allow crossfade which iPeng doesnt support.
