Yes, the link between devices is a lossless digital one. Problem is
that the signal will be somewhat degraded by the DAC - Digital To
Analoge Converter - in the iPhone but we've being a little picky here
and there's probably not all that much you can do about it unless you're
prepared to spend the extra money on an external DAC unit for your
iPhone that plugs into the dock connector, they're not all that
expensive, I bought one for my iPhone some time ago, cost $30.
On the other hand the Samsung Note4 Android phone have better quality
DAC'S so you can fully appreciate the sound when you're streaming to the
phone using AirPlay or DLNA, or just playing files from the phone's
memory or an SD card etc.

So, if I plug one end of a cable into my iPhone's headphone sock and
the other end into my hifi's aux input, that will be lossless and when
I stream with my Express it will be digital? is the difference then
analog versus digital?

To put it bluntly, think of Lossless Streaming as if you had two
devices each connected by a good quality physical audio/video cable
or cables.

You have to get Bluetooth adapters and receivers that are capable
of Lossless Bluetooth streaming and most are not.
Its pretty hit and miss when you're talking about streaming via
Bluetooth when the devices are in different rooms.
And finally, the iPhone is not capable of streaming Lossless
Bluetooth, a lot of the newer Android phones are capable of doing
this and they include the
Samsung Note4, S6 etc, that's why a lot of mobile phones use either
DLNA or AirPlay depending on your choice of phone, the streaming is
lossless and it can be done over longer distances though granted
usually you have to have a Wi-Fi network as your foundation when
doing this..

Hi all
Changed the subject line but to some extent it is still related
to the
lossless streaming of music.
Is it at all viable to use Bluetooth to stream lossless music
from two
rooms situated next to each other.
This might also be an option for me to use.
Unfortuantely my situation is a bit more complicated than usual.
I have an
induction loop system in my flat through my computer’s speech also
has to go
in order for me to hear it. The loop’s input is connected to my
hifi’s
output also. So I need to find a way for my computer’s speech
also to go to
the next room!!
So Wifi may not be the way to go? I suppose FM transmission is
not very
good at this stage? That is why I was also thinking of using
Bluetooth?
