Cable for digital output on airport express?

what cable do I need to use the digital optical output on airport express? Can I use it to feed a DAC upsampling converter such as the DACMAgic? Thanks

Hello
I have just set up this as described.
I've noticed though that on the Dacmagic, the incoming sample rate, when connected via the Mini Toslink adapter to a Airport express is 44.1 - where as if I connect the Dacmagic directly to my Mac via USB, it jumps to 96.
Why is that and is it likely to affect the sound quality?  Haven't had a chance to do a side by side comparison yet.

  • Cables for digital output for DTT2500 and Audigy 2 ZS

    Hi, I lost the DIN cable for my DTT2500 speakers in a move. I've already read the article http://forums.creative.com/creativel...message.id=270
    I'm having a hard time finding the correct cables to get the full digital experience out of my setup. DTT2500 5.1 speakers and Audigy 2 ZS. I game, listen to music and watch DVDs on my computer. Can someone link me some product pages where I could buy the necessary cables?

    Hello Jason,
    Could you tell me if I can still buy the cable below in order to connect DTT2500 with Audigy 2 ZS?

    If not could you provide me the wiring diagram of the Din?
    What is the difference between the Red one and the Green one in the shop ?

  • Sound output to Airport Express horrible except through iTunes Airplay

    I've had an Airport Express for 2 or so months now, and I use it for both wifi routing as well as its Airplay functionality, wired into my stereo. I've used it with Airplay directly from iTunes as well as setting the system sound output on my Mac to go over to the Airport Express.
    As of today, only the Airplay over iTunes works without issue. When I go to the system sound preferences and select the Airport Express, I hear a very loud pop, and all output is muffled and highly distorted. If iTunes is playing, that sounds bad too.  However, with the system sound prefs set to internal speakers and ONLY iTunes set to Airplay, it sounds fine.  This is not good at all for me, as I often send audio from Youtube and other streaming sites to Airport Express to play on my stereo.
    How can I get sound output to Airport Express from the sound preferences to play nice again?
    PS, I have the identical issue with Apple TV, though I don't use it regularly for Airplay. System output to Apple TV is terrible, iTunes Airplay to it is fine, and the audio from content on Apple TV is fine.

    Is there any way to output any sound from a computer to Airport Express, not just iTunes?
    Yes, check out Rogue Amoeba's AirFoil.

  • Is is possible to use a netgear wireless router to share a cable internet connection between an airport express and a Sony BD player?

    Hi,
    I have a couple of netgear wireless routers (WGR614, WPN824 v3) as well as a Belkin wireless router (F5D8233-4v3) lying around, and was wondering if it is possible to use any of these to share the internet feed from a cable modem to both an airport express and a Sony Blu-Ray Player?  I connected the WPN824 router between the cable modem and the airport express but the airport express will only give an orange light then as if it does not have internet access.  Any suggestions would be much appreciated! Many thanks.

    What you are basically attempting to do is extend the Belkin router with the AirPort Express Base Station (AX) via a wireless connection between them. This method is known as a Wireless Distribution System (WDS). Unfortunately, WDS is not a standard and router manufacturers implemented, in most part, to only work with their products ... so it will be very unlikely that you can create a WDS between your Belkin and the AX. There have been a few Belkin model that have been updated by third-party firmware that support WDS, but the models you listed are not any of them.

  • Audigy 2 value where is the option for digital output? Help

    i have the creative inspire 5700 and the audigy 2 value but i cant find the checkbox for "digital output only"
    where can i find it's Pls help me !!!

    That is not the problem however it is located in the speaker setup window and all it does is disable the line outs, digital is always turned on and cannot be turned off. I suggest you re-read the 5700 manual. Tell me which lights you have on.

  • Noise on optical output from Airport Express

    I have an almost new Airport Express (actually as an extension of my old AE) which I use for streaming music to my HiFi. At first I used the analogue output for my amplifier, without any problem. But now I have installed a HiFi D/A converter (Rega) and started using the optical output from my AE. It plays fine, but now and then (like 2-3 times per track) there is a noise appearing, like a pulse of 3-6 beats. Could be external noise, but it is only there when I play music. Anyone have any idea ??

    Hi, nice to know I am not the only one with this problem (did not log on for a while...)
    The problem is also that one doesn't really know which part to blame. I guess anywhere you go with your problem they would say it is something else. And the guys in the Apple store don't have knowledge at this level, they are just trained to sell.
    I am sorry to hear that you had to give up and return to the analogue input. Which means that you are using the D/A converter built into the Airport.
    Are you saying that you were using the digital output from your old Airport into your Rega DAC without any problem ? If you feel sure about that it must be the new type of Airport that has a problem.

  • Looking for help on connecting Airport Express to Belkin F5D7230-4

    I have been reading post after post with a similar problem with help. From other post, it sounds like this Belkin router will work with Airport Express(AE), but I have not found help on how to make it work.
    Here is the problem.
    I need to extend my internet signal from my office to my living room. The Belkin router is connected to my cable modem in my office. The Express is in my kitchen (between the two rooms). I set it up for expanding the signal and the light on the AE continues to flash yellow. I have called Apple and they were able to help me set it up, but it only works for AirTunes (and I am guessing anything plugged into the USB port), but NOT for internet.
    Here are some of the things I have tried.
    ~~ I have connected the AE to the cable modem to check that is does work, and it does.
    ~~ I have moved the device closer to the router and still not working.
    ~~ I have made sure the Belkin settings are set for WDS, which it always was. I have reset the router and the AE.
    What am I missing? Do I need an updated firmware? I have read on another post about a D-Link that needed DHCP and NAT disabled, but I don't understand how to do that and on which device? Any help would be appreciated.

    Thanks for the article. I have read that before.
    The WDS was already enabled on my router so that did not help. There is something else missing somewhere on these steps that I am not understanding.
    I assume that the AP direction is meant if I plan to use the Belkin router as an AP not the main router? Where in this case the AP is actually my Express, and my express does not have a similar interface to change things to the settings mentioned.

  • Does anyone know if a cable exists that would connect Airport Express to a Sony DMport connection?

    I have a Sony home cinema amp and the only unused connection is a DMport. I have googled, but can't seem to get a definative answer. Can anyone help?

    The DMPort is for a special Sony manufacturered iPod adapter or other Sony product only.
    The port will not work with an AirPort Express, even if you could figure out how to manufacture the cable and plugs at both ends.

  • Analogue output from airport express

    Is there something odd about the output in analogue?
    I have two analogue inputs I use on my home stereo. From the airport and from Sky. To save me switching cables all the time, I bought an analogue hub.
    Sky works fine, it doesn't like the airport. Sky will work in any of the 3 inputs but airport will work in none of them. Oddly, as I change channels from input 1 to 2, there is a fleeting hearing of the airport output. Direct connection to the stereo Works fine.
    This is all a bit odd to me but perhaps I am being really dim. Any thoughts?

    If you temporarily connect a pair of stereo headphones to the audio port of the 802.11n AirPort Express Base Station (AXn) does the audio quality appear to be normal? If so, then the AXn is not the issue and it could be the cables, the analog hub, or the stereo.

  • I changed cable providers and now my Airport Express won't connect to the Internet.  How do I fix this?

    I changed to Time Warner cable.  Upon doing so, my Airport Express lost its connection to the Internet.  When I run the Airport Utility, I am stuck at the first step, which says the AE doesn't have any DNS server addresses.  What are they and how do I find out what they should be?  And if I supply them, will that fix the problem?

    Have you performed a Factory Default Reset on the AirPort Express?
    If not, the Express is still remembering the settings that you programmed into it when you configured it to work with your old modem.
    The Express is "looking" for your old modem, but it does not "see" 'it because it is no longer there...so it can't connect to the Internet.
    If you have not already tried the Factory Default Reset and you need more info about this, post back for more details.

    You may be having problems with your battery. However, they were not caused by using your iPad charger. The iPad charger is compatible with the iPhone and can safely be used with it. If your phone is less than a year old, you may want to take it to your nearest Apple Store and have them take a look at it. If the battery is not functioning correctly, they will replace it for you.

  • Color Laser Printer - advice for student - compatible with Airport Express!

    Hi there!
    In September my studies will start hier in Germany. I'm now looking for an Color Laser Printer as a birthday gift from my parents. For me the compatibility with my Airport Express is very important. The printing costs should be low, i prefer to spend more money on the printer once. I think a price between 400 and 600 Euros should be ok.
    Could you give me some advices or tell me your experiences?
    Sorry for my english, i know it's not the best;-)
    Greetings from Germany!

    If it works on the quoted airport extreme, you should be good with the airport express
    Hope that helps and good luck.

  • What is the ip port number for a 1st generation airport express

    I have recently upgraded my home wireless router from a Linksys EA2700 to a EA6500.  The EA2700 worked fine with my 1st generation Airport Express.  Since I have mavericks on my laptop (Airport Utility 6.x is incompatible with Airport Express/b/g) I used Airport Utility 5.6.1 on my Windows 7 laptop.  When I goto select my home wireless network in the APU drop down menu to select a network, my home wireless network never shows.
    Linksys says it might be a problem with port forwarding and they need to know the ip port number of  1st Generation Appler Express. 
    Thanks. -Rob

    AirPort Utility can be used to configure and change the settings on any of the AirPorts.
    If you have a Mac, AirPort Utility is here:

  • Help with Connection Settings for Blu ray-to-Airport Express-to-TC?

    I'm trying to use the network capability of my Sony Blu ray player and having no luck. I have the Blu ray connected via ethernet cable to the Airport Express, which in turn is connected wirelessly to my Time Capsule. The problem I'm having is horrendous because I'm so lame and no amount of forum or internet searching has helped.
    The Blu ray network settings wants the following information:
    IP Address
    Subnet Mask
    Default Gateway
    DNS Server (Primary)
    DNS Server (Secondary)
    Do I get these settings from System Preferences>Network>AirPort>Advanced or do I get them from either the Airport Express or Time Capsule using AirPort Utility?
    I tried giving the Blu ray player a static IP Address in Time Capsule using DHCP Reservations and the Blu ray's MAC Address, but that's not working either. Between the AirPort Express, Time Capsule, cable modem, and MacBook Air there are numbers everywhere and I just don't which set to use.

    I have tried most of the suggestions on these forums to get my Samsung connected to the airport express network but so far no luck. Anybody have success out there with step by step suggestions?
    Are you trying to connect it to your AirPort Express wirelessly? (That's probably the case if your AirPort Express is your only Wi-Fi device, as its Ethernet port would be connected to your broadband modem.)
    Is your AirPort Express "N"-capable? What type of encryption are you using on your network?
    Have you installed the "supplied Wireless LAN Adapter"?
