Apple Airport Express to DAC
@kalali I use Airfoil which can broadcast tidal from your computer to multiple airplay speakers. It will also send to Bluetooth and chromecast devices. The Apple TV set up properly just becomes an airplay speaker.

@jemmet look at voiceofmusic.com and lpgear.com for alternatives.  They also respond to emails for suggestions. 
Apple Airport Express to DAC
Good idea @robr45 !@pandrus any luck with the apple tv?Regarding @audioengr comment - I don't think it's the jitter.  It must be something else, because i tried a reclocker between my airport express and the Fiio D03 DAC - the iFi SPDIF iPurifier ... 
Apple Airport Express to DAC
HI @robr45 actually it seems to not be the case.  The Arcam dac, Cambridge dac, Marantz dac, Creek dac all have trouble holding the lock from the Airport Express.  Some people think it is an issue with SABRE DAC chips.  CambridgeAudio was able to ...

Apple Airport Express to DAC
Bummer @pandrus.  Well I'd recommend a Fiio D03 - it's $20 off amazon and sounds way better than the Airport's DAC.  And it works. 
Apple Airport Express to DAC
Hi guys,Were you ever able to figure out the problem?I have an elcheapo Fiio D03 DAC that works well with the airport express. However I tried and Arcam irDAC, and and iFi iPurifier reclocker and neither will consistently lock with the signal.  I'... 
What are the best entry level integrated amps and speakers?
I’d recommend KEF Q100/Q150 speakers paired with Marantz PM6005/PM6006. The older models (Q100 & PM6005) sounds fantastic and can be bought at 50% of their original price. But you could also go new and stay in budget. If you go older you can s...

Thanks @lowrider57 and @audioengr Will look into those! 
Can interconnect cables improve sound stage height, width, and depth?
@geoffkait putting them in sideways results in marked improvements on all fronts. Try figure 8s and braiding them as well. @blamere Different ICs definitely sound different. Sometimes different sounds better because it’s sounds new. Sometimes diff...

Is there an LPS in the $50 - $100 range that would provide the necessary power? 
Looking for Better Jitter Reduction in a DAC
@lowrider57 very cool! congrats!How did you come to decide on the Audio Note?Bummer about the iPurifier, I was thinking to try one on my cheapie Fiio DAC.  Maybe I'll just get new cables instead.

@lowrider57 Did you ever deduce the issue?  Did you try the iPurifier? 
MQA through Toslink
Heard back from iFi - unfortunately MQA does not unfold through Toslink or Coaxial.  Apparently the "MQA Renderer", which is engine these smaller/mobile DACs use to unfold MQA, only works through USB.  So that's why all the AQ, Pro-ject, and iFi D... 
MQA through Toslink
@kalali they updated the firmware on many of their products to include MQA support, including the iOne.https://ifi-audio.com/wp-content/uploads/data/iFi_audio_PR_Extra_Ordinary_MQA_Easter_Egg.pdf
