NEW GADGET TIME! - enter the Airport Express gizmo. This little beauty operates wirelessly on the home wi-fi and speaks directly to iTunes, all that's needed is a connection to the amplifier and to install the gizmo as another wireless access point on the system.
The amplifier connection is a 3.5mm mini jack socket which also has an optical output built in. I've tried both the analogue connection and the optical and the latter wins easily on sound quality.
. . and there's more, a very useful free app for the iPod and iPad called Remote, this gives complete remote control of iTunes whatever room you may occupy - SO - I can sit in the lounge enjoying all my music on the hi-fi from iTunes on the iMac in the study, controlling tracks and volume remotely.
Now that is a MEGA GIZMO!!
