Chime fed by Airport express opinion needed
« on: 11 Aug 2008, 07:50 am »
Hi, i am looking to use airport express as a feed to chime dac. i am aware that chime has A special flywheel type VCXO-based PLL performs reclocking that might fix the jitter problem from airport express.

does chime dac be able to input toslink?

anyone has wireless setup with chime? how does it sound compare to feeding the chime from USB/spdif interface ?

thanks in adv, erwin

CHIME only accepts electrical SPDIF.

You will need something like the Audio Authority 977R optical-to-coax converter.
Whether or not the Chime will lock on to the airport's digital signal will have to be answered by someone else.

I use a Squeezebox with my Chime and love the results.

I'll second that.  Using SqueezeBoxen, throughout my home and office, my family
can listen to music sharing the same library.  Everyone can listen to the same thing
or different things concurrently.  Music can be synchronized between multiple
players.  We can stream the music "offsite" as well.  No need to sit in front of a
computer to fire the music up: can use the remotes for the SqueezeBoxen or the
web browsers in our phones.
