Airport Express on separate 802.11n network?
Edimax comes with Windows drivers only (same on the website). Manufacturer claims only Windows compatibility (shame on you Newegg). Luckily I was able to find Ralitek chipset number after opening the case and to download driver plus utility progra... 
Fuses that matter.
Bryon, It is natural to keep searching and testing, but"Time comes when design engineer has to be shot so that design can be released to production" 
Explain Class D amps to "non audiophile friends"
Realremo, No harm done. I'm just overly sensitive today. Don't hesitate to ask if you want to go more into details. I'm not the best to explain but Al does it very well and he is forum Guru (in case you don't know it yet). 
What to look for in used CDP transport
I replaced CDM12 once. There are different versions of CDM12 but I selected VAM1250 if remember correctly. CDM12 used to be the most popular CD drive in computers so easy replacement is likely. If you're looking for decent transport alone try DVD ...

"Ok my brain just exploded all over my iPad."Realremo, we are seriously trying to explain but I can see that making jokes is more important to you and Jeffatus (who finds it amusing). I won't make this mistake again.

OK, light analogy. In order to achieve certain brightness of 100W light we can either adjust brightness in linear fashion by increasing bulb supply voltage or we can apply full voltage and blink it very fast. Continuous brightness that our eyes se...

Tmsorosk, You cannot have everything.

Mapman, I suspect that it will get much better because of semiconductor speed. Things based on timing scheme like Sigma Delta DACs are limited in resolution by timing accuracy while traditional DACs are limited by tolerance of components. Semicond... 
Explain Class D amps to "non audiophile friends"
Realremo, Imagine just one mechanical switch that switches between +10V and -10V. Output of this switch after averaging (filtering) will be zero volts if switch was the same amount of time (for instance 1s) at +10V and -10V positions (total cycle ...

Bombaywalla - it is the other way around. Class D was invented tweaking SMPS. Engineers demoing SMPS showed that load regulation is so fast that SMPS can even play music.Any linear power supply is in fact primitive switcher operating at 120Hz. Pri... 
Explain Class D amps to "non audiophile friends"
Imagine switching two wires between +V and -V voltage at very high non-audible frequency. You will get high frequency square wave with average value of zero as long as this switch stays in each position 50% of the time. Change this percentage (rat...

Tpreaves, It is a little bit like sex - even if bad it is still good.

Bryon, Perhaps your hands were too slow to keep same direction 60 times a second? 
Airport Express on separate 802.11n network?
Thank you Al. I appreciate the time you spent to help me. I ordered Edimax from your Newegg link on special for $19.19 (offer I could not refuse). It should work since distance is only 15' across the room, but in case it doesn't I have your link t...
