A couple reasons. The first being money. Why pay Apple to license airplay to

It’s not that big of a deal. They will include a free set of cans with the new

Actually, you can do more with a 3.5 MM jack than your thinking including 5.1.
I have a DAT machine that uses the 3.5 inch jack format on the DAT side to
