Apple Airport Express Very Cool Product

I too have recently installed the Airport Express and have 2 of the units (1 for my cable modem and usb printer, and 1 for my stereo using an optical cable directly input to the digital in on my Cary 306-200 CD player) and I have a powerbook g4 using itunes. I can't recommend it highly enough as a really cool way to attach a music server without a bunch of hassle. Sound quality is WAY better than mid-fi and, while noticably inferior to a cd played on my player, I enjoy it for casual listening and messing around and the quality far outpaces my ipod.

I HIGHLY recommend this product and, as the kid states, once setup it is super easy.

I understand it can send a digital signal. Is this true?? If so has anyone tried it with it running through a DAC to your system with your CD's encoded @ 44.1kHz???

If it works OK, and doesn't eat up all the bandwith of the wireless router, I will likely be putting one into my system. Otherwise, the iPod is for vacations and traveling in the car sometimes, CD's will be kept for home use.

I have one too and my G4 Cube and airport base station sends music to it from iTunes. I often stream cooljazz.com to the express and then into the Ht system. Great music before a show starts!

I went to buy one from Comp USA, only to find out they didn't have the necessary cables....

So I ordered it from MacMall, should be here by the end of the week, with cables, I'll play with the one and decide how many I want...

FWIW I can't wait for it to come!

Hopefully my amps and sub will be back from recall Saturday and I can spend the day setting up the system and listeni

Well, i got mine today setup today, and as you said, not as staraight forward as typical Apple stuff, especially as I use a D-Link router....fortunately I have an Apple store nearby for support....

Well, I've set it up and streamed some AIFF files so far I don't notyice any inturruption in the rest of the wireless network.... If it pans out, and I suspect it wil, I'll add another for the living room, and re-code all my CD's as AIFF or possibly Apple lossless compression and use an external HD as a digital music server!!!! Fun Fun, Fun!!!

I can't wait to play with it somemore, and also can't wait for Apple to allow you to stream to several at once, and ideally with different feeds! They will really be cool then!!!!
