Wireless to USB DAC

[ssolomon]

I'm currently running from my macbook's usb -> Aune T1 -> Marantz 2230. I don't like being tied to my DAC though. I want to be able to wirelessly transmit my signal to my Aune. From what I understand, and please correct me if I'm wrong, an Airport Express won't work for me - it doesn't have a USB output. My Aune T1 only accepts usb.

Anybody have any suggestions to get me untethered from my desk?

You can use the Squeezebox Touch with a USB DAC.

Logitech does not make Squeezebox anymore, but you can get one of many ARM computers running Squeezeplay and having WiFi network interface. I use Wandboard for that purpose, but it is probably overkill for audio purpose only.

Look rot the Raspberry PI thread here

Audioengine has wireless gear. I think you need a wireless DAC to send to your Aune DAC which is redundant but doesn't hurt anything.

I run a Raspberry PI on WiFi with Volumio and a USB DAC, files on a NAS. Controlled from any device on my network- phone, tablet, desktop. Playback is fine over "g" WiFi at 94/24. Async DAC and Volumio buffers in memory anyway, so no dropouts or latency issues.
