@pl_svn: On other fora I also read you need Airfoil to go from A+ > Airport Express (another 25bucks :-() @Damien: Do I really-really-really need Airfoil, or is the latest version of A+ capable to stream directly to AE? THX,

Thanks Damien for the fast response... Unfortunately, unselecting 'use max I/O buffer size' didn't clear the issue. I also changed the Audio Filter setting to 'Apple CoreAudio' without any result. Maybe de 'Debug Information' unveils something I don't see (Chinese for me ;-) More ideas to let my AE>DAC sing like a bird?

Hey Folks, In search to tweak my audio-streaming setup I installed the A+ 'trial version' yesterday on my iMac in 'iTunes integrated mode' via Airplay. My setup looks like this: iTunes (mostly AIFF) > Airport Express > S/PDIF Toslink > Cambridge Audio DACMagic > Arcam A85+P85 > Monitor Audio GS60 + Subwoofer REL Storm III... However, everything works fine with A+ turned off. With A+ turned on I don't get any audible signal through the DAC. The blue led on the DAC, indicating 44.1 Khz input signal, flashes every second, so it seems there's no continuous signal... I started to play with the settings in Preferences/Audio System, without any result. What am I doing wrong? Any suggestions? Damien?
