The only extra cabling would be power for the AEX, and an optical audio cable from the AEX to the stereo. Since the mini doesn't connect to the stereo via optical, there shouldn't be any conflict there. The added benefit is that you can use the Remote app for iOS (way better on iPad than iPhone) for a full-screen album art controller, without having to deal with Screen Sharing (though that will work as well). ./s -- >>> Birdhouse Hosting <<< Custom web and mail hosting services http://hosting.birdhouse.org d(-_-)b _______________________________________________ MacOSX-talk mailing list [email protected] http://www.omnigroup.com/mailman/listinfo/macosx-talk
