Audio quality vs Airport Express

Thus far I'm loving the AppleTV. My (untrained) ears feel like there is a difference in music playback quality, though, compared to my previous setup - Airport Express/Airtunes. Anyone else noticing this? Does the AppleTV process the music for ProLogic the way that the Sound Enhance setting does in iTunes? Could that be the difference?
Thanks!

This analysis is completely subjective. To really know, you've got to run this against a singal/noise analyser to see how clean their DAC and amp electronics are. I remember seeing a write-up of this somewhere on CNET, but then again, their product laboratory findings I don't hold in very high esteem.
I was actually suprised by the amount of noise the Apple iPod video generated. This became apparent when I had the volume turned all the way up, and I went through simple actions, like navigating my library. It reminded me of the noise I heard when listening to the huygen's probe as it decended tothe surface of titan (it picked up alot of internal electronic noise).
Since most of the amplification will be done by your own stereo equipment, and it does so in a far cleaner way, I wouldn't expect there to be much of a problem. If you don't like the way your AppleTV sounds, run it through an EQ first. If you still don't like the way it sounds, get a better amp and speakers, and think about running it optical.

  • Horrible Audio Quality from Airport Express

    Last night, I purchased an Airport Express for the sole purpose of using it as a client on my already exsiting 802.11g wireless network to play my iTunes on my living room stero. It took me a while to get the configuration set up correctly, but I finally have it so that it is communicating with the network and sending information and iTunes to the AirPort.
    My problem is that the audio quality on my stero system is horrendous (i.e. unlistenable). It sounds like I'm listening to a radio broadcast from way out of range.
    Here's the odd part - the connector cable to my stereo works fine with other audio devices (i.e. my iPod) - and the Airport Express works fine with just my headphones. So, there is no problem hooking into the stereo and no problem with range or communication between my iTunes, network and the Airport.
    I think this issue problably has something to do with the levels from the Airport unit into my stereo, but I don't know exactly what my next move should be. The only thing I'm quite convinced about is there must be a very simple answer to this problem which has had me pulling my hair out for hours now.
    If anyone could suggest something that could help, it would be much appreciated. Thanks in advance.

    Hi cozmocramernyc,
    I am glad it works.
    I use the Digital Optical cable instead the standard cable and the audio is Awesome.

  • Play DVD with audio sound via Airport Express speakers

    Is it possible to play my DVD with audio sound via my Airport Express speakers?
    I can play music with iTunes trough these speakers, it would be nice if I can hear my DVDs aswell.

    Not using Front Row.
    The real issue here is that audio and video stream at different speeds and it is hard to maintain sync. You know how when you hit play within iTunes it takes a while for the song to start through the speakers? It's the same with the DVD. So you'd need to work an offset into the audio when playing a DVD and it's not an exact science.
    You can download VLC player and mess around with the offset, then you'll also need a program like Airfoil to be able to force audio through the airport express.
    Good luck!

  • Can I strem audio to my airport express? but not only iTunes

    Can I stream audio to my airport express? but not only iTunes. where can I suggest to Apple make some about it?

    Hello keer. Welcome to the Apple Discussions!
    Can I stream audio to my airport express? but not only iTunes.
    Yes. To stream audio, other than from an iTunes source, to an AirPort Express Base Station (AX) you will need a third-party product, like Rogue Amoeba's Airfoil.
    where can I suggest to Apple make some about it?

  • Coding audio streams to Airport Express?

    Not even sure where to post this question, so my apologies if this is too far off topic.
    I'm very curious about the audio coding that happens when streaming music from iTunes to an Airport Express, or, a 2nd gen AppleTV? Is there any additional code-decode going on when streaming? Playing a 44.1 kHz .wav file, uncompressed, and capture that waveform at the electrical out of Airport Express... will it be identical to the original .wav file (ignoring some minor D/A artifacts)??
    Many thanks in advance.

    Can you reference a link or 2 where I can read a bit further?
    I'll see what I can find as Apple has provided very few details on this. The links I had to some material I had reviewed earlier, unfortunately, are no longer valid.
    For example, what happens with an uncompressed .wav file that is an 11kHz sample rate? Does the AX have a D/A that supports all of the supported sample rates? Or, is that part of the compression "on the fly" into Apple Lossless that everything is coded / converted into a single sample rate (44.1 kHz??).
    Great question!
    The AX works only with iTunes v4.6+ and is limited to music files that iTunes can read; ie, 16-bit data only. (An exception is you can use a third-party product like Rogue Amoeba's AirFoil to stream other non-iTunes sources.) These data, though, can be in any file format that iTunes recognizes, from lossy MP3s at the low-quality end of the spectrum to Apple Lossless and lossless AIFF or WAV files at the high end. To more directly answer your questions, the AX functions only at a 44.1kHz sample rate. When you play, for example: 11kHz, 32kHz or 48kHz data, iTunes sample-rate-converts the data in real time before sending it to the AX. As you figured this is a limitation of the QuickTime Codec that is the heart of iTunes.
    One operational glitch, that primarily affects the analog side, is the fact that the AX doesn't have a local clock circuit. When the incoming data is interrupted, as it is when you change songs in iTunes, there is no longer a digital output to feed the DAC, which loses lock as a result. Provided you can live with its limitations the combination of iTunes and an AX provides an easy way to pipe CD-quality music around your home.
    FYI. For the 802.11b/g version of the AX, the analog audio is handled by a Texas Instruments PCM2705 digital-to-analog converter. I don't know if they used the same DAC for the newer 802.11n model. Some audiophiles use an external DAC in an attempt to overcome any of the AX's shortcomings.

  • Usb audio out from airport express

    Hi,
    If I want to put a DAC with USB input between Airport Express and my stereo, will I be able to do so?  I'm thinking about using the NuForce Icon-2 DAC.  So Itunes>>Airport Express>>NuForce DAC>>stereo receiver.
    Thanks in advance,
    Dave

    Sorry, but no.
    You will have to use the optical audio output on the AirPort Express if you want a digital out.
    The USB port will only support a compatible printer.

  • Limit Audio Output from AirPort Express

    I have active loudspeakers (B&O) that I'd like to drive with the airport express station. As I can not adjust the volume of the loudspeakers, I'd like to know, whether there is a possibility to regulate the output of the audio signal within the express station, rather then iTunes. Why?
    a) I have connected my loudspeakers to express and it worked all too well, at 24:00h, my neighbors where really happy, as all 70 watts started.
    b) the volume control of iTunes is not good enough to really control the output (its nearly zero or full power).
    c) I want to be flexible with my macbook and not necessarily sitting at my desk.

    Hi TD,
    What I've done with my similar set up like yours is that I've added on a Grace Design m902 unit in between the Airport Express and the active speakers. The Grace unit also comes with an optional remote control which then allows me to adjust the levels without having to touch iTunes.
    You can have a look at the unit HERE..
    Otherwise, you can look at other cheaper pre-amp alternatives. The reason I liked the Grace Design unit is that it allows me to also send a USB out direct into the unit from my computer if needed. Good luck!!

  • Audio Feedback from Airport express

    I just hooked up a new Airport Express Base station to extend my Airport Extreme Wireless network to my stereo using AirTunes. I am connected to the Tape 2 input on my receiver using mini plug to RC jacks. Seems like everything it's working fine except, the sound on my TV, which is wired through the same receiver, has a noticeable buzzing on all inputs (TV, Video 1,2,+3). This is clearly the Airport Express; present when the Airport Express is powered on and absent when powered off. I have switched the cable so I don't think this is the problem. Has anyone ever had this issue before? Any suggestions on how to eliminate this or minimize it?

    Hi Again Duane,
    I just wanted to put a final post on this thread. Your suggestion did not turn out to be my solution. It turned out that I had a bad Audio input on my receiver which was creating the feedback. New input, no problem. Thanks for your help anyway. I did have quite a rat's nest of wires behind the stereo which are much more orderly by now.

    If you had an AppleTV 1 this function was available - you could play a movie or music and send the audio to any available Airport 'speaker'.
    AppleTV2 lost this useful function.

  • Poor sound quality Through Airport Express

    Airport Express is connected to home stereo. sound quality is very poor?? I've tried it from both my computer & Ipad. Both are equally bad??? Music sounds normal on Computer & Ipad but terrible through the Airport express

    Music sounds normal on Computer & Ipad but terrible through the Airport express
    Temporarily, I suggest that you connect a pair of headphones directly to the AirPort Express. How does that sound?
    If things sound good, you know that the Express is functioning correctly and that you likely have have a problem in the connecting cable from the Express to your stereo equipment, as Koloss suggests.

  • Is it Possible to stream video off of my macbook pro to my apple tv2 but stream the audio to my airport express?

    I know you can play music over multiple speakers but is it possible to play video on an apple tv and the audio that goes with that video on an airport express  at the same time? It would be nice to have some better sound then my tv speakers while watching movies.

    i haven't used Airfoil (or Airfoil Video Player for that matter) to stream movies but it ought to work with TV - at least that's what the developers claim. and you are able to select multiple remote speakers so the audio can be sent to TV and AX simultaneously (mute TV to have sound via AX only).
    the only problem is content from the iTS:
    Because it is impossible to control playback of DRMed iTunes Store videos, they can't be played with Airfoil Video Player
    anyways, there is a (albeit limited) trial version available so it won't hurt giving the app a go.

  • Problem having ATV (1G) audio play to Airport Express connected speakers

    I've had some difficulties trying to have my ATV (1st Gen) act as a jukebox and play its audio on speakers connected to an Airport Express. When I select the remote speakers on the ATV it attempts to connect to them, spins for a while, and then gives up. The same speakers work fine if I remotely connect to them from a Mac running iTunes instead. I'd really like to use this feature with the ATV since it is always on and I can control it from anywhere on my network using my iPhone.
    Anyone else having any success using the ATV to play to remote speakers?

    You are mistaken. The Apple TV (1st Gen) can stream music to an Airport Express over AirTunes. It is selectable in the ATV settings display, and in the Apple Remote iPhone application, and I've successfully done it before. However, it does not always connect to the speakers properly, whereas a Mac running iTunes has no problem.

  • AppleTV2 can't stream audio to my airport express

    Dear Apple Support,
    I just bought a brand new AppleTV2 (2nd generation) today and wanted to get my Apple setup just perfect - but AppleTV2 second generation dissapointed REALLY! You should definitely stick with AppleTV 1st generation.
    AppleTV2 can't stream audio wirelessly from to for example you hifi-system. This is REALLY a downgrade!
    I really hope that Apple's amazing development team will fix this as soon as possible via a software update.
    The baseline of this comment is:
    AppleTV 1st Generation can stream wireless audio to Airport Express.
    AppleTV 2nd Generation can not stream wireless audio to Airport Express - which is a MAJOR DOWNGRADE!
    Best regards,

  • Audio stream from airport express while watching a music video on laptop

    Hello,
    Can anyone help with instructions to have the audio portion of an itunes purchased video stream across the airport express while the video plays on the macbook. It seems to work fine with all of the music files but in trying to watch a video i purchased the audio will only play through the macbook. Any help is appreciated

    Hello ehende2. Welcome to the Apple Discussions!
    Sorry, but you won't be able to do this as this is a limitation of iTunes/AirTunes.
