Currently, my speaker rig is as follows: iTunes > TBAAM (optical) > presonus CS > sophia EL-34 > Von VR-1's. I've always been wary about using the TBAAM in this setup, as it seems like it might be a bottleneck (it isn't bit perfect, and automatically resamples to 48 kHz). Thus, I've been considering replacing it with the apple airport express for its superior optical out. My question is, is there really even a noticeable difference when upgrading to the airport express? And if there is, is it worth the price? I'm asking this because with the same $100 it would take to purchase the airport, I could just as easily get a matched quad set of Winged C EL-34 tubes that are sure to make an improvement in my setup. Or even a power conditioner. I'm just trying to see what will give me the most bang for my buck. Thanks!
