RonW. Posted December 20, 2013 Share Posted December 20, 2013 Well, success finally at last. Last night I got the Apple Airport Express (AAE) set up and working fine. The AAE has an digital out via toslink by 1/8" mini plug fiber optic cable into my DAC to the preamp. Now I can sit in the den on the sofa stream and control iTunes from my iPad or iPhone. Pretty slick gizmo for $99.... WooHoo! RonW. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

quakana Posted December 22, 2013 Share Posted December 22, 2013 (edited) Awesome I chose to do this with Apple TV's. I have 3 of them, one upstairs, one downstairs and one for my outside system. Itunes from My MAC streams the music to all of them at once and I can control the volume to each independently. I have been doing this for a while and i love it (I use the remote APP too) Awesome stuff. Only thing that sucks is you can't get apple lossless files from Itunes store For my two channel main system I do Apple TV - optical cable- Peachtree DAC-RCA cable-Kinergetics C800 pre-Yamaha M-65 Power Edited December 22, 2013 by quakana Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I have connected my iPad in a similar way but used Apple TV for my streamer Apple TV is connected to my external DAC via the optical cable and the iPad controls it's functions Works great In the near future I plan to transfer all my digital music to a NAS server and access it via wifi FR Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
