jax2 - i don't understand about not using toslink, do that conversion out of the box. what conversion? it is a digital signal coming out of the mini or airport express going into a external dac via a toslink cable. no different than going out a usb port except i can use any dac that uses a toslink connection instead of the few that use usb.
Dummy Guide on What's Needed to hook up Mini Mac
I have read many post on this issue, but am still utterly confused.
Current system Mini Mac will be hooked up to:
YBA stereo integrated amp
Oppo universal player
Madisound home made speaker system
1.) What exactly do I need to buy and how do I hook up a Mini Mac digital playback system to my current system for CD playback?
2.) How do I get CD's into it?
3.) Do I need external DAC and transport?
4.) How much memory in hard drive is needed?
5.) Can it operate with a remote?
6.) Will this system act like a music server?
7.) Is the sound quality as good as high end CD player?
Finally:
8.) I don't know what questions to ask, as I'm a real dummy on this issue, so please tell me what to buy (on a budget) and what to do?
