I use an Apple AirPort Express to stream music to some crappy computer speakers, currently. My question for you all is, when is a DAC needed? I'm thinking I can do without one, and just hook up the TA-10 to the AirPort Express and be in business. Any thoughts or tips? Thanks!

You do need to have digital out (coax or optical) from the laptop, or go the USB DAC route. I have heard on several forums the USB DAC can be finicky with which players/OS combinations are used. If you are happy with the Airexpress sound quality, then no DAC needed, until you want to squeeze a little more from your digital playback system. Cheers!

You can start by using the TA-10 connected directly to the airport express with the analog-out and later upgrade your setup with a DAC between the airport express and TA-10.
