I recently bought a Denon DRA-F102DAB reciever, and are now looking for a way to play my digital music on it, either through my Ipod, directly from my Mac or with an Airport Extreme. As I have realised through browsing through numerous forums, the best way to get the music from the computer to the stereo is to import cd's with lossless quality and and connect the computer to the stereo with a toslink digital cable.
Unfortunatly I download most of my music through Itunes, so the format is fixed, and I do not have a digital in on my stereo (which really annoyed me when I found out just now). In the reviews for Airport Express they say there is a notably difference between the digital and analogue signal from the Aiport.
- Is there a digital to analogue cable (or an adapter) that will maintain most of the "digital quality" of the audio, or is there no other option than to use the minijack to the RCA and live with the analogue sound quality.
- Is there less difference between the digital and analogue signal when one connects it directly from the computer instead of an Airport Extreme?
Thanks
