Just be careful on the AppleTV...I'm not sure on the original but the new ATV2 has a fixed output of 48KHz which for purists will be an issue on upsampling/desampling by the ATV itself and prior to the DAC receiving the signal. This may result in noticeable signal degradation due to the multiple processing and interpolation.
How To Route Streaming Music From iPad 2 to DAC?
I am about to purchase an iPad 2. Amongst the other things I would like to utilize it for is streaming subscription based music to my Bryston BDA-1 DAC in order to route it to my preamp.
I checked out the Cambridge Audio iD100 dock, which is priced right, at $299.00, but it only works with the original iPad. I haven't found anything else out there. I would greatly appreciate any information on what other options might be available to me to accomplish this. Thanks.

This is exactly my setup: http://www.flickr.com/photos/mrisney/5278013451 Toslink to Apple Airport Express, into your pre amp. and the Byrston BDA 1. Either the IPad, the IPhone or your MacBook. All Apple products can stream to the Airport Express. I wouldn't sweat high end Toslink cables if such a thing exists. Optical is optical, how can you refine fiber optic in terms of bits ? Anyways, I enjoy this setup immensely. So much so, that I use my analog components (tuner/turntable) almost zilch. And a transport ? I haven't used one, or played a CD in years. When you goto a DAC, it simplify your system, Good amplification, whether solid state or Tube, good reference speakers, an adequate DAC, and you are good to go. |
