I was recently reading that using an Airport express to stream from your computer into a DAC via Toslink cable, is a great way to get a straight digital signal into your hi-fi system. however the Airtunes feature downsamples the stream to 16/44khz before sending it along.
I was wondering if anyone knew whether anything like this happens when playing lossless files directly to the DAC via iPod using the dock. Or whether higher resolution files will even work with an iPod at all?
