Okay, I have an Amp - or receiver to be precise - that has Airplay support and
no, you don't need an Airport Express to use it but you do need an Airplay
compatible device such as your computer running software to enable Airplay
streaming, an IOS device such as an iPhone, iPad, iPod Touch or Apple TV as
your Airplay source, once you start streaming from the Airplay source device
your airplay compatible device will start playing the stream, you select on the
source what device you wish to stream to.
I've been using Airplay for over 3 years now and I'm very impressed with
performance, earlier on there were a few buffering and syncing issues but those
seem to have been sorted now.
And finally, just to explain exactly what an Airport Express does when it comes
to Airplay, its a receiver if you like of airplay streams so you could buy an
Airport Express and connect this to a line-in of an amplifier, digital in of a
Sound Processor etc and stream to to this from your Airplay compatible device.
There's more an an Airport Express than just Airplay but let's keep it simple for the
Mail at hand shell we? <smile>.

Hi!
You could buy an amp with airplay support.
Then you have to hook it up to your wifi and after that you could listen to
music on your Iphone via wifi on your amp.
I am not sure though if you need an airport express first.
I guess so but not sure.

Hi Elizabeth. I think you are going to have to provide a bit more info.
What is available depends on so many factors, not least your location. If
you are in the US then members from the US will be best placed to help you.
If you are in the UK, Australia or New Zealand or south Africa etc then
those members will be the best people to advise. In addition what
specifications do you require and what is your price range. NAD over the
years have become less popular as the quality of the product has declined
but there are still some around. Personally I would recommend Arcam if you
are in the UK but they are very expensive but the price just reflects the
quality. I don't know if Arcam is available in the US or the other places I
mentioned but they are easy to get a hold of in the UK but you would need to
visit their web site to get a list of dealers. If you went for something
like Arcam or any other mid range to high range product you would really be
wise to audition the amplifier first. If you are looking for "budget"
amplifiers then Sony, Pioneer, JVC, Marantz etc all do good products. If
you are really interested in sound quality then looking for a amplifier with
digital inputs would help such as optical or coaxial inputs. If you intend
linking your phone to it then I don't really know if any of the amps would
have USB inputs. One final suggestion; if you are in the UK then try Richer
Sounds as they always have very good deals. Walter.

Subject: stereo amplifier
My old time stereo amp finally died.
I want to buy a new amp for my system which takes advantage of new
technologies. I have an iPhone and know I can buy an amp with DAC built-in.
I want to buy a amplifier rather than buying a little system to which I hook
the iPhone through a docking station. My concern is being able to use
accessible controls. I have previously liked NAD amps. Any suggestions will
be appreciated.
Elizabeth
