AppleTV to external DAC?

Toslink to S/PDIF coax (or AES) and I2S, and memory-based reclocking:

Macrojack, I don't speak fluent AppleTV yet but can suggest the following: If you don't already have a wireless network, you can create one, and the AppleTV can join it (just make sure it is not hidden). Your AppleTV will then be able to link to your iTunes. It becomes the hub by which you can download content from the iTunes store (movie rentals, etc), play your music off iTunes, etc. I do not know about internet radio unless you download it as a podcast (which will work). I expect you may need something else for the drives.

Steve, I was actually aware of your PaceCar, and find it an elegant solution to the problem. I wondered for a couple of years why someone did not make one (until you did). I was, however, hoping to spend less money on my solution until my network (using a multiple wireless router network to get to my stereo & TV) is more solidly together. However, this gives me an idea... could one run an AppleTV into a Behringer DEQ2496 (toslink in and out), to a PaceCar to a DAC and keep it clean, or would the AppleTV to Behringer leg mean that the Behringer was processing an already jittery signal?

First, let me say that I'm using the toslink and it sounds great. I I am using a Transparent Audio glass toslink cable,which may or may not help, but overall, you should try the toslink before dismissing it out of hand.

That being said, there are converters such as the Theta TLC that will convert from toslink to coax. If someone's tried using it, I'd love to hear their thoughts

You are right Darkj. It is cheap and I might get my eyes opened. After all, I am not trying to get it perfect yet.

T_bone - you can put locate the Pace-Car as far down the stream as you want. Right before the D/A is best.
