For those interested, I just saw the Zeppelin Air pop up in the Apple store:

I'm hoping that Magnolia carries the new Zeppelin Air as I have a ton of Reward Zone points I'd like to use.
The new Zeppelin will serve as my sound system in my master bedroom. Air functionality is amazingly seamless and I can't wait to get my hands on the new Zeppelin! -
Ditto. That way I can use my discount :TComment

The only downside is that Apple Airplay downsamples everything to 16/44.1kHz so any hi-res audio files will not be enjoyed in its fully state. However, if you stream directly from your computer and not an iPod, iPhone, or iPad, you MAY get higher resolution audio files. I am not sure whether the Zeppelin supports the higher res audio files.
Not sure if this important, but it is what it is.
BTW, I'd get one if I did not already have the original Zeppelin.Panasonic TC-P65VT30

They will have it. Apple Stores have an exclusive for something like 6 weeks. After that everyone else including B&W dealers and Magnolia stores will get it.Originally posted by BdoUK
From the B&W Air site:Originally posted by Hammie
"On Zeppelin Air all inputs are up-sampled through the audiophile-quality 96kHz/24bit DAC, including wireless music using AirPlay®...There’s also the option for studio quality 24bit audio via the optical input."

Needless to say I couldn't wait for Best Buy to get the Zeppelin Air...
Found this one at my local Apple Store. So far it sounds great. The AirPlay functionality works as advertised. However make sure you follow the setup instructions exactly and use the included ethernet cable. I tried to use the ethernet cable running from my PC to the router and had issues initially.
More impressions to come
