Using Air Port for music...do I need a digital to analog converter

I want to play my iTunes library on my old stereo using my iPod Touch as a remote control (that works well with my Bose Wave Radio).  My old stereo is an analog system. When I plug the output of my Air Port Express into my stereo though RCA cable, do I need to use a Digital to Analog Converter (DAC) or is there a DAC as part of the Air Port Express???
Many thanks,
Twinz

After doing a little more digging, I find that using a Toslink cable out of the AirPort Express and into a quality external DAC, and then using RCAs to connect to my pre-amp will get much better results out of my stereo. Evidently the DAC in the AirtPort is not great quality.  So, what I'm going to do is hook up the stereo through the AirPort and listen.  If it sounds bad, I'll spring for a decent external DAC.  Many thanks!

    Hi,
    To send your boolean array bit by bit you'll have to enter your array in a For Loop to unindex it.
    You could use your counter output, if there's any, to generate the clock for the D/A, if not, you'll have to make it programatically.

  • Hi, I'm using a Mac Pro here. I am trying to connect it with my NAS hard drive. But i could not connect to it because i have an ethernet which connects to the intranet in my company and Air Port for the internet.

    Hi, I'm using a Mac Pro here. I am trying to connect it with my NAS hard drive. But i could not connect to it because i have an ethernet which connects to the intranet in my company and Air Port for the internet and it could not detect the the ip address after i input the correct address on "Connect to Server" window. Please help! Urgent! Thanks

    I did not say it is not possible.
    I said if your company networks are monopolizing both ports, you should talk to them about what options are available.
    Maybe you can get the company Intranet over wireless if you change some configuration items such as Subnet Mask.
    Maybe you can get on the Internet over Ethernet.
    You really need to ask them, and do not let them blow you off because you have a Mac. If they balk, ask them how it would be done on a PC (becasue it will be the same on a Mac).

  • HT1515 Can I use Air Port express as a signal extender for SKY Broadband router in UK?

    Can I use Air Port express as a signal extender for SKY Broadband router in UK?

    You are going to have to turn OFF Wifi on the Sky router device so its just a modem.
    String an Ethernet cable off of the Sky router to an Apple Airport/Time Capsule device and have that create a stable WiFi network.
    Using WDS protocols you can now add additional Apple Airport expresses as needs be to extend the Wifi signal area.
    In theory you should able to extend an existing network however inter-operability between differing manufacturers is flaky at best.
    Caveat using extenders Will degrade the performance of your network.
    So its going to be more expensive - Need Two Airport devices and you my need support in creating the network (you may have to log in to the Sky provided routers advanced settings in the Java Control Panel and from a web browser to turn off features such as Wifi and IP addressing)
    You may be better contacting Sky as they may actually have a compatible network extender (BT certainly do for their Home Broadband routers) available.

  • How can i write a vi in using parallel port for digital inputs

    Dear all,
    i am a beginner user of LabVIEW and i want to write a vi in using parallel port for digital I/O. After reading the article "Using the Parallel Port in LabVIEW
    " and download the parallel.zip, i know how to write the vi for output, but i still don't know how to write the input one.i've try to use a Inport.vi to test, but nothing change when i set pin2-9 to high. (my computer:win2K & LabVIEW 6.1)
    Can anybody teach me how to write it?
    Can anyone write the vi for me too?
    Thanks all!
    p.s.i've already install the "accessHW.exe"

    Are you using VISA or the accessHW VIs? You may need to goto the bios and set the parallel port to run in spp mode or standard mode. This is the simpliest configuration and where you should start.
    As far as writing the VI goes, just copy the diagram out of the tutorial you mentioned.

  • HT3625 I have a 2012 macBook Pro 13" and the option "Use audio port for" does not appear at all in the sound menu. why is this? im running  mountain Lion 10.8.2

    I have a 2012 macBook Pro 13" and the option "Use audio port for" does not appear at all in the sound menu. why is this? im running  mountain Lion 10.8.2

    Because line-in has been removed.
    It does allow for an Apple headset with mic., but I don't know if it would work with third-party ones.
    You'll need to use a Griffin iMic or similar to use line-in via a USB port.
    The same goes for the 15" retina, the newest MBA and the new iMac (whenever it finally arrives).

  • Using 40GE ports for VPC Peer Link

    Hi,
    Is it possible to use the native 40GE ports on the N7K-M206FQ-23L module for the VPC Peer Link, or do you have to break these ports out into 10GE ? I have read that 10GE ports must be used for the VPC peer link.
    Thanks in advance.

    You can use 40GE ports for VPC peer-link. No need to break those to 10G.

  • Siri can't find music unless I enable use cellular data for Music

    I have an iPhone 4S with the latest IOS.  I ask Siri to play music but "she" can't find it unless I "enable" Use Cellular Data for Music.
    As soon as I enabled this setting in the Settings -> Cellular section Siri could find and play the music.
    I certainly don't understand why this is happening.  Why isn't Siri able to just find what is local to my iPhone and play the music.
    Can someone enlighten me on why this would happen?

    Hi Chris,
    Songs are on the iPhone - there is no cloud symbol (I'm familiar with that as well). 
    I've updated my signature - I am running the latest OSX and IOS (thanks for reminding me).

    to enhance your battery life, keep screen display to minimum, set screen lock automatically after 1 min, select internet notifications to off.

  • I receive both My husbands emails and mine through my ipad. We both have gmail accounts.  His emails are coming down on the ipad but not mine.  I haven't received mail since Saturday and as we use the email for business I desperately need it.

    I receive both My husbands emails and mine through my ipad. We both have gmail accounts.  His emails are coming down on the ipad but not mine.  I haven't received mail since Saturday. We use the email for business I desperately need it and I don't have a laptop anymore as it is broken.   In my wisdom I desired to buy an ipad instead,  what a mistake.

    The iPad will support multiple Gmail accounts, but of course you have to set each one up individually.  Did you set up both accounts?  Go into Settings/ Mail, Contacts, Calendars to confirm both accounts exist.  If they do, also familiarize yourself on how to navigate between accounts to make sure you can view your Inbox.  You may also want to check your settings to make sure that you have the default account set up as you expect for Mail, Contacts, Calendar, and Notes (if you're using all those features).  That is important only when initiating something new, you have to have a default account to do such a thing so make sure the default is your account since it is your iPad (assuming that's what you want).
    Alternatively, install the free Gmail app and then use only his (or your) account with that app and use the standard iOS Mail app for the other account.

  • Using Appliance Ports for NAS

    Using Appliance Ports for NAS
    Hey all connecting a NAS to UCS. Would like to plug in directly to FI’s using the Appliance Port option.
    Are the steps basically
    Turn on Ports use as Appliance Ports
    Make PIN Group through Appliance Ports (this will only be one port per FI, I am guess Port-Channels can be used if NAS supports that?)
    Make VLAN internal to UCS
    Make vNIC Template and use newly created VLAN and PIN Group
    Boom!
    Right?
    Thanks!
    Craig

    I have made port 20 on each 6120 an Appliance Ports.
    Each port is assigned to a VLAN made under the Appliances tab.
    Cannot seem to make a PIN group using these Appliance ports. They are not a option.
    Is there something I am missing?
    Thanks!
