I've been using the AstoundStereo Expander for a while now. The latest version (2.0) seems to have addressed some of my initial concerns. I like the fact that it has a preamp feature. I tested a few songs with their earlier version that would occasionally have minor amounts of distortion. I was able to reduce the distortion by adjusting the effects slider to less. However, this is no longer an issue with the latest version.
I was able to get it to work with Airtunes. However, you will have to use Airfoil by Rogue Amoeba to make this feature work. But once you do, you are no longer bound to just listening to iTunes-a definite plus! It sounds really good and has managed to wake up my speaker system! I was able to find this info tucked into the Expander's FAQ section, but only after contacting their tech support-friendly folks & very quick response, BTW.
it would be helpful if they made this info a bit easier to find since this adds an extra star to this software, IMO. But I found it and it works! Only 4 stars for documentation since I had to hunt down how to make this feature work. Airtunes compatibility is a big bonus, too bad they don't make it obvious.
Just be sure to download Soundflower (a freeware option with Airfoil) since this seems to be an essential component to this type of setup.
I would still like to see an EQ option. I'm a bit picky about my music and like to tweak it so it sounds just right. But none the less, this product is extremely easy to use and most importantly, sounds great.
