Apple Airport Express

31 replies

Anyone with an airport express needs to check out salling clicker, it turns your phone into an itunes remote with the ability to browse your full libary it is amazing!

I have it on my N95 and it connects using my networked imac in my office upstairs and I can browse and play all of itunes.

I get (sporadic) drops in my laptop "seeing" my airport express - sometimes rebooting the express helps, sometimes not. However, if you check apple discussions you are not alone - these problem seems common post software update - hopefully a future update will rectify

Good choice - that's a DAC that has been very well received.

I find that a DAC between my Macs and sound systems is necessary, compared to just running the analog line out from either the Mac or an Apple Express. The difference in sound quality is so obvious - more detail, less noise and an absence of "brittleness" results, the music simply sounds richer.

I have a DAC feeding my Beolab 5000 amp, from an Airport Express. And it's wonderful to be able to use a 41 years old unit together with this modern source, and getting the best of both worlds.

Here's a view inside the DAC that Sigmund's bought - it becomes clear why Apple can't fit all of that inside a computer (or an Airport Express).

 

B&O may be a little dismayed to find that more people are using A.AUX on their system to the exclusion of other choices except video.  I also use a DAC with Apple TV for music and now internet radio on Apple TV.  Internet radio never sounded so good.

That was robbery. They are not cheap as there are very few brands using these kind of connectors.

 

Next time please do look on ebay, there are quite a few dealer type sellers that offer them a bit cheaper.
