Parasound Halo Integrated.

Hi all, I need some help. I just bought a used one for use in a second system. One of the reasons I decided upon it was the fact that I thought it supported Airplay. I was looking to stream to it wirelessly from my Macbook Pro. I was thinking I could hook it into my home network and that would be all I needed to do. Obviously that's not the case so I hoping someone is in a similar situation and could lend me a hand in finding a way to stream to it wirelessly. Thanks in advance!!

Thanks everyone, that is exactly what I needed to know!

@etalks - That is exactly what I was wondering if I could use the Airport Express.

@robelvick and taigo729 - Thank you, that is what I am going to get.

@anthonymolfetta - I took a look at the 5200 on Mc's website, they don't mention that it has built in Wi-fi.

If you don't mind, michaela, what speakers are you pairing with the Parasound, and how do you find the sound?  Any cabling preferences?

213 - I will report back with my impressions but I'm a setting this up in a secondary room so I am using what I have on hand. I have a pair of Vienna Acoustics Strauss and Cardas Golden Reference cables. I'm hoping it's a good match.

Thanks so much! I’ve had my eye on the Parasound.  It apparently has a great phono and dac section.

At some point in the future I plan to replace my Parasound JC 2 BP preamp, 3 JC 1 monoblocks, and 2 A 23 surround amps with a Halo Integrated driving a pair of KEF LS50s for a simple secondary stereo setup.  I assume the integrated will play nicely with my wife's favorite racing red LS50s.  Is that a reasonable assumption?
