I didn't realize how difficult it was going to be to stream JRiver to an airport express. I was unable to get the airfoil to play. I am currently listening to internet radio streaming to airport express (which is connected to my 2 channel pre amp's DAC via a DH Labs fiber optic cable. I thought I could have a budget streaming set-up using airfoil to stream to the airport express. I wanted to avoid spending $$ on a CD player at this point and save that for a "player" that I could connect directly to my preamp/DAC at some point in the future.

Eloise, thank you for the airfoil suggestion. It is recognized by Jriver, but I am not able to hear any music on the stereo. I know the airport express works, so isn't must be an issue with the computer and wireless network or firewalls. This is so fustrating, because iTunes is just plug and play. I was hoping to hear the improvement in sound from Jriver.

I am new to this site and need help with some clarifications. If I stream Jriver on Win7 PC to AE that is connected to DAC on pre amp via toslink. Will I benefit by using cat5 from router to AE? Should I rip using FLAC or AIFF if I need synch with iPhone too. Do I need dBpoweramp to rip or can I do it in Jriver pros and cons? My long term goal is to be able to listen to Hi Res files on hdwr that will not become obsolete in a year or two. I don't plan to invest in a CD player
