What device do you recommended to connect to the IDA-8 to receive Airplay from an iPad or iPhone?

Apple Airport Express is an inexpensive solution. Apple sells refurbished units.

Thank you, that’s a big help. Is the connection to the IDA-8 via USB port that Nuprimes dongle was designed for?

If I remember correctly you would use an optical cable from the AE to the IDA 8.

Cheapest Airplay device with a toslink I could find.  I own two of them.  One is hardwired and other is WiFi connected.
