I have been using an Apple Airport Express with my stereo system (wireless signals from my iMac) for a long time now (as an addition to a traditional stereo setup), and there have been no dropouts of sound.
Now I have on two occasions tried attaching a Peachtree DAC-iT between the Airport Express and the preamp (optical cable from Sys Concept, various sources: AIFC, mp3 and good-quality state broadcasting).
Result: the sound dropped out constantly (unlistenable), at least after a minute or two.
With the Benchmark DAC1 in the otherwise same setup, there are no dropouts.
There are no dropouts with neither DAC when using the (same) optical cable between the iMac and the DAC.
How can this be?
