WAIT, hold the phone. I can use my Apple TV? Then I don't have to buy an airport express?? Awesome.

bikemig, all of those DACs you mentioned have RCA outputs, right? So the Dual 1/4" to RCA cable could work then to connect my monitors. But are there any DACs with two 1/4" outputs and mini Toslink inputs? That way I could use my existing XLR->1/4" cables... I imagine they exist somewhere since my Scarlett 2i2 has two 1/4" outputs.

@WINDIANRECORDS Thanks for the suggestions. So I've been looking into using the Airport Express to stream music but I'd want to connect it to a DAC first and then to my monitors. Makes sense, right? If I were to use an Airport Express, then I wouldn't need a wireless DAC. Then could I skip the SM Pro Audio Nano Patch and use the Airport express optical audio out with a mini Toslink cable that plugs into a DAC? Any suggestions on a DAC with a Toslink input and line-level TRS outputs (like the ones I have on my Scarlett 2i2)? I cannot find any online... Why is this so hard for me...

oh and the only inputs into my studio monitors are XLR and TRS if that helps you understand at all...

Hey, first of all, thanks for responding so quickly. You guys are awesome. SO... It sounds like I'm SOL for streaming wirelessly through my Scarlett 2i2. Any other suggestions? I do like the idea of the Airport Express as most of my music is in Apple Lossless Format. What would I need to plug my monitors into to do that? Ideally, it would be awesome if I had some sort of external hard drive with wireless capabilities that I could access through iTunes... Is that a thing? Could that be an alternative to putting another computer into the mix? I'm not sure how I would go about that though. I'm really just looking for any suggestions on how to play music wirelessly to my studio monitors with as little sound degradation as possible.

Hey guys, I'm new here and to the audiophile scene so I have some questions. There's just so much information out there and I'm just having a hard time navigating it all to find the answer I'm looking for. I recently purchased some M-Audio BX8 Studio Monitors and along with it a Scarlett 2i2 Audio Interface, which hooks up to the monitors and converts my digital music to analog (right?) I play all of my music from my laptop but that requires a usb connection from my audio interface to my computer. My question is: is it possible to buy some sort of wireless device to plug into my audio interface so that I can stream lossless music wirelessly from my computer to the device through my audio interface to my speakers? For example, I've been Googling and stumbled onto these: Aperion Audio's Wireless, Lossless Music System - "HAL" One, for these I would need a female usb connector to connect it to my audio interface, which it apparently doesn't have and two, it seems excessive to have something plugged into your computer AND audio interface to stream lossless music. Any suggestions? I'd really appreciate it! Andres
