So I have used airport express boxes around the house to allow me to plug in iTunes airplay music directly into a device (usually a small stereo amp, or in once case an old tube pre-amp). Works great, I can fire up a playlist on my Mac and hear it all over the house.
To do this I make use of the audio-out port on the Airport Express (and I believe only the express has it?). So in a world without airport express boxes, do I have any alternative? I actually don't need the WAP part of it, but I do need something which will receive an airplay stream from iTunes and output an analog stereo signal.
Any options out there?
(Yes, I know I can keep using my Airport Expresses for the time being, but I was thinking of upgrading my in-home wireless before this announcement and thought the next version of the Apple stuff would be the ticket, now that's not an option).
