Apple Airport Express won't play WAV files

My music is all on my iMac HDD. It is connected over wireless network to an Airport Express, which is plugged into a Marantz SR7007 using an ethernet cable. When I attempt to play a WAV file, I get a message that says "File Format Error". How do I play WAV files on this system ?? Thanks

Since the Airport Express is an Apple product and designed to work with i-tunes. I think to play a WAV file a microsoft product you need a linking software such as Air Foil to play a wav file through your Airport.

I am not familiar with your type of setup, however, I will say that I believe that .wav files are natively compatible with iTunes. Are you running 16 or 24 bit files? What is your sample rate? Where ever your problem lies, I don't think it's with iTunes.
