Dont imagine it;ll get many votes but one of mine is Wasteland by the Mission on Gods own Medicine, " I still believe in god, but go no longer believes in me" then into a great guitar build up. Happy days :)

Just noticed on my iPad that spotify is now streaming at 320kbs, is this a recent upgrade?

Yes the apple tv will do that, I have mine connected via optical to dac to amp and use iPad to stream spotify to apple tv. sound is good, occasional sound drop outs, just switch on apple tv before starting spotify works for me

One problem, lots of drop outs when streaming, can't understand it though router, iPad and apple tv are all within 6feet of each other. May have to try a wired connection as this is so annoying

got it sorted, thanks guys. Sound quality is perfectly accepting, cd player will stil b used for the main listening sessions. Very happy :)

So I need the airplay app tostream from iPad to apple tv, sorry for labouring this

The tv capabilities would be a plus, but its really spotify and internet radio that im planning to use it for. Will try and borrow one to make sure it sounds good

I was thinking of the ariport express/apple tv as its quite a bit cheaper than the sonos. If that was the best way to go then i would hang off until after xmas to get it

Would i.need any other software or app. Does the airport ave an optical out

I had been toying with the idea of getting a sonos or squeezebox to play my spotify premium account through my amp. Now that i have an ipad would the above work. Ive searched the net but seem to get mixed messages, is this possible, do i need anything else, airfoil or a spotify remote control...

I eventually went for the xs amp, i didnt like the sound of the 5i when i went for a demo, it was almost painful to my ears and it was a well used demo of the 5i. i knew i couldnt live with the sound and was contemplating going elsewhere. When the xs amp was connected up it was a whole different...

Yeah, posted on wrong thread, i had the two forum messages opena the same time

Cheers guys, sonos it is then
