A most excellent combination!

For those who have commented reference my recent issue with streaming and the clicking noise I was hearing I have found the culprit. I'm not sure what to do about it but that's another story.
 
Apple TV (which is shown as an icon on my itunes page as an external speaker) when activated makes the clicking noise. When the computor speakers are activated only there is no clicking. What are you guys using to stream to your DAC' etc?

Glad you nailed it.  I use Airport Extreme Base Station to stream.  No problems.  My receiver is a Squeezebox Touch.

I am completely hardwired in my set up.  For 16/44.1 sources I think wireless is fine.  When you start to get up to 24/96 and beyond, I am more comfortable with wired.  24/96 sources require 4.4 Mbs so any strong wireless signal should cover this but this also assumes there is no competition for band width in your home.

Hi, woo-mates! Not sure as this has been chewed on, but anyone else tried WA22 with HE-6 yet? My trial run wasn't that much success, even though mine is 2W it sounded quite thin and I had to take it up to past 4pm for some meat. It was too loud then and didn't give me any joy so to say. Anyone else?

Hello everyone!
 
After asking some recommendations, doing lots of reading, and talking with Jack, I purchased a WA6-SE along with Beyer T1's last week. Awaiting for shipment now. Upgrading from a Darkvoice 3322 and HD650s. Can't wait for arrival!

My T1's arrived a few days ago,still burning them in but will say that they sound extremely fast,clear,clean and detailed out of the Woo6se. Oh and very musical and exciting

 I have an iMac and my files are AppleLoseLess reciding in an external 1T hard drive. My network is an Apple Exteme as router and I have 2 Apple Express set up at network extenders in the house.
 
In one of my systems I have the etehrnet output of the Airport Express connected to a Squeezbox and the digital output of it to a Genesis Ditgital Time Lens and from there to my Modified PerfectWave Dac.
 
In my other system I have the same set up as in the onther one but also I have connected the Airport Express Toslink output to the Genesis so I can steeam either using the squeezebox or Airtunes.
At the begining there waqs a difference in sound where the Squeezebox souded better. I finally fgured out that the Sound Enhancer option in iTunes actually makes the sound sound strange. After I defeted that option and equalizer the sound was the same from both and with not clicks or noise.

Are you using the Genesis Digital Time Lens for Optical and Coaxial input of PWD?  Not sure if the Genesis is better than PWD's own digital lens.  If my memory still serves me right, the Genesis is development by Paul too.

Woohoo, just paid for the LCD-2.  Can't wait to try it on WA22...

Wow that sounds complicated, I'm in awe....
 
Will the airport express work with my own wireless router? Also do you need an adapter for the digital out? It just looks like a standard 3.5mm jack.
 
I am ready to throw the Apple TV in the bin, it's so frustrating having what I hoped to be the purfect/slick set up fall over. I connected my Dacmagic to my PC via USB and turned off the Apple TV speaker and it worked perfectly.

I too was hoping for a good match with my (2 watt also) WA22 with the new "more efficient" production model HE-6. It was a fail, there just isn't enough current there to give the HE-6 a proper ride. Try a 10-100 wpc speaker amp for the difference the additional headroom can make, mainly in imaging, soundstage, as well as overall speed and dynamics. Just think K1000 amping requirements for the HE-6. You will obviously need a speaker tap adapter (again just like the K1000), there is much more on this in the main HE-6 thread. I ended up constructing a different balanced setup (not quite done) with an Alesis RA150 pro audio NFM amp, leaving my WA22 system for other headphones.

 Yes, both imputs coming from the computer files are going to the Genesis. The PWD by itself does not have a Lens. The Lens comes in the Bridge only. My PWD does not have the Bridge yet.
 
My CD Trnasport output goes directly to the PWD.

 It sounds complicated but it isnot at all. I think you can make the Aiport Express with another brand of routers but it can get complicated. I used to have a Linksys routher but it was giving me a lot of issues even with output signal amplifiers and high gain anntenas so I decided to replace it with the Aiprot Extreme.... One of the best decisions I have made. The Extreme is a breeze to set up (basically it does everything for you) and all drop outs and issues went away.
 
The Airport Express audio out has a dual function. It is a 3.5mm jack for analog output but also it is a mini Tosklink output in the same hole. There is special Toslink cables with mini in one side and regular in the other or there are adapters from regular to mini. You can find them very cheap in Amazon. I bought the adapetr to try it out thinking in buying a WireWorld mini to regualr later.
 
If your computer is a Mac I would not think twice to replace your router with an Extreme.

I used the AppleTV for a long time and only moved over to the Wadia i170 so I could get off of optical and on to coax.  I connected the AppleTV to a Monarchy DIP and then from the DIP to my PS Audio DAC and everything sounded as good ast 41kHz could sound.  Don't know why it is giving you troubles.
