I'm really keen to dive into this however as someone knee deep in the ecosystem it's baffling that it doesn't have proper native integration with Apple TV/HomePod. You can Airplay with your phone as the source, but not with the receiving device being the source (which is typically a nicer and more reliable approach as some phone applications can interrupt the streamed audio).

I was also really excited for this, coming from the angle of someone who's never really got into classical music. It seemed like a nice opportunity to dig into it a bit with some (hopefully) good curation. The lack of a macOS app is baffling to me, most of my music listening is done while working, using the nice pair of wired headphones I have connected to the dock on my desk, but apparently Apple think I'll only want to listen to classical music on a pair of AirPods, which while alright are not the best.

At the very least make a slight nod to the fact you own the entire stack from hardware to app and allow me to install the iPad app on my laptop.

There is no iPad app. It runs in iPhone compatability mode.
Atmos doesn’t carry over on airplay either.
