    ..for the techies - DAC into Zeppelin Class-D aux port?

    Given that the B&W Zeppelin has a Class D amp with an optical input, would it make sense to run a MF V-Dac between an airport express and the Zep's aux port?

    No DAC: Airport Express digital runs direct into the digital amp.

    DAC: AX converted to digital via DAC and then reverted to analog into the the Zep.

    What are the implications please, as I have the Zep as a bedroom setup and am considering a V-DAC. Thanks.

      I ordered the Airport Express and just plan on using it without an external DAC.

      I would be interested in hearing your opinions if you get the DAC and do an A/B comparison.

          B&W Zeppelin
          by RNKC
          A few months back B&W announced the Zeppelin - a rather cool looking iPod speaker system. We had a discussion in this thread back then.

          Yesterday I actually tried it out at the store. The Zeppelin is better looking for real than in the pics. Not that it looks ugly in the pics; it...

          Classé cp-800 output aux 1/2
          by Erik LeBeau
          I was wandering if I could use the two auxiliary outputs to feed the LINE IN of a B&W Zeppelin or simply active speakers for exemple.
          This way I would take advantage of the Classé high end DAC and the configurations options to direct music in the house.

          Led Zeppelin I, II & III Remastered (by Page) in 96/24 format
          by aud19


          Has anyone else heard these yet?! Cranked I and III up last night and my goodness it sounds like Page lubed up his guitar and slid it slowly, lovingly in to my ears.

          If you're a classic rock/Zep fan you owe it to yourself to hear these remasters. They're on a whole other level...

          by capall
          Hi all, just came across your site recently after purchasing a pair of 2013 B&W 683's (series 1 I believe they're now called) and looking to upgrade the rest of my system.

          I'm currently using a 10 yr old Sony AV receiver with 100w/ch (no optical input), fed from the analog out of...

          How good is the internal DAC on the B&K Reference 50?
          by ColoKurt
          I’m about to buy an Apple Mac Mini for use as a music server. I’ll use the optical connection from Airport Express to send the digital signal to my B&K Ref. 50. I was wondering if anybody has compared the internal DAC on the Ref.50 to a high quality external DAC like the Musical Fidelity...
