I use Airport Express with my Mac Mini and Benchmark DAC1. There are two issues with Airport Express
- it is limited to 16 bit
- it looses clock between songs making some DACs skipping first second of next song (time to sync). Benchmark doesn't do that (syncs fast).
If you can run 802.11n that would be better since 2.4GHz is pretty noisy (my microwave oven has exactly the same frequency as one of the channels interrupting music when set to this channel).
