Airport express using optical cable is the best bet for streaming from Mac wirelessly! USB on airport express can't be used for DAC input so Forget that USB option!!
Parasound Halo Integrated.
Hi all, I need some help. I just bought a used one for use in a second system. One of the reasons I decided upon it was the fact that I thought it supported Airplay. I was looking to stream to it wirelessly from my Macbook Pro. I was thinking I could hook it into my home network and that would be all I needed to do. Obviously that's not the case so I hoping someone is in a similar situation and could lend me a hand in finding a way to stream to it wirelessly. Thanks in advance!!

@michaela I had a Parasound Halo Integrated, just recently. It doesn’t have built in wifi. The only way you’ll be able to stream wirelessly to it, is if you buy an additional component to connect to the Parasounds’ USB/OPT/or COAX inputs. I used an Apple TV (gen 2) via Optical Toslink with good success. Right now I’m using an Aries Mini (streamer) and that supports Airplay as well. Hope that helps, and good luck. |
@michaela
I'm also using the Aries Mini. But if want a quick and simple (also cheap) solution I would just pick up the Apple TV gen 3 and run it through optical input like @robelvick just mentioned. |
Thanks everyone, that is exactly what I needed to know! @etalks - That is exactly what I was wondering if I could use the Airport Express. @robelvick and taigo729 - Thank you, that is what I am going to get. @anthonymolfetta - I took a look at the 5200 on Mc's website, they don't mention that it has built in Wi-fi. |
