For us who do want to continue with the AE and optical, which AE would have the lowest jitter-levels, all before the 802.11n-models? Is a Pace Car or similar products the only option to get rid of this otherwise?

Okay, No, Airfoil is for Spotify. I have the latest version and it does work like a charm. The WireWorld Supernova 6 is a 3,5 mini-toslink to toslink cable, that transfers the data from the AirPort Express to a DAC or Reciever etc.

Alright, I have made my decision and placed my money on Setup 1. An AirPort Express that is. I think the sound quality is quite good actually, this is with an $25 Toslink cable. But it lacks a bit of depth, detail and punch. Great convenience by using an iPod Touch to control iTunes and Spotify I might add. Would my setup benefit a lot from a WireWorld Supernova 6?

Hi there, This is my first post in this forum, though i have been following many threads. I am in a state where I can not decide whether to buy an AirPort Express or Squeezebox Duet for transport. I will mainly use iTunes or Spotify as source (at most 16/44.1kHz that is). At the moment I am testing out a Beresford Caiman DAC which I think I am going to keep as DAC. I just want to get as good sound as possible. I have two setups in my head at the moment. From source to sound: Setup 1. MacBook (iTunes, Spotify, AirFoil) AirPort Express WireWorld Supernova 6 (If this really do make a difference vs. a cheaper one) Beresford Caiman Chord Cobra RCAs Luxman L-530 Transparent Cables - The Wave Jamo D 590 Setup 2. MacBook (Squeezecenter, Nicecast) Squeezebox Duet Good Coax (Suggestions?) Beresford Caiman Chord Cobra RCAs Luxman L-530 Transparent Cables - The Wave Jamo D 590 Is the AirPort Express more 'jittery' as a transport than the Squeezebox Duet? I really would appreciate some feedback to help me decide what to do. Sorry if I this post seems confusing, but that may be beacuse I am. By the way, does anybody know if Nicecasts 320 Kbps stream somehow reduces Spotifys 320 Ogg files quality? Regards Emil
