Will HomePod 'kill' BeoPlay?

I don't know of any Airplay speakers that has Home Sharing. That is normally on the device that is playing the music and sending it to the Airplay speaker such as the iPhone or iPad. I think there is a lot of information out there from people who are incorrectly interpretting certain statements from Apple, since it is not out of personal experience. I just can't believe that Apple would do that!
Edit: Thinking about it more, Home Sharing would be used by Siri to access your local music. Since the HomePod doesn't have that [yet], would make sense why Siri would only work for Apple Music. This would have no affect for Airplay though.
@mark. I think they are released here next week. 😮👍👍I have 2 pre-ordered but will only set up one initially. I am a pretty basic user since I don't subscribe to Apple Music and only use my local library of music. I won't be using Siri much if at all since it won't work well with Japanese words and then only pull my music off of iTunes Match which is lower resolution. I will be happy to report back on my Airplay usage and how well I think it sounds without doing any direct comparison's to my B&O devices. I don't know if I will have Airplay with Tunein or how elegant that might be, so that might be missed. The Tunein app for iPhone/iPad seems to require a paid subscription to use. I believe this will be an advantage for B&O!

Looks like a two week wait for mine! No rush though, it will only get "exciting" when I can stereo pair them!
I’m also looking forward to airplay 2 and hope the BS2 will eventually work the same way as a homepod. Once stereo pairing is in place, i could replace my BL8000 with two BS2.In the meantime, i’m using an apple tv with my BV as many of you. Has anyone found a hdmi-sense that would turn on the BV if the apple tv plays (via airplay)?
What even is Airplay 2?
