HI there,

So you said that you want to use the Toslink, but also that the digital and analog outs are on the same physical jack.

The Toslink connection is optical. If you have optical out *and* analog out, you might be OK. Guess I'm not sure how the airport works.

If the Airport thing only has one connection, and it's not optical, you can split it, go into a cheap DAC, then into the 990 with that DAC's analog outs. Since I don't know your budget, it's hard to look for a DAC.

Here's an older CAL for $150:

Check eBay and Google around as well for "cheap dac".

Have you run into my complaint here: http://ubb.outlawaudio.com/cgi-bin/ubb/ultimatebb.cgi?/ubb/get_topic/f/34/t/001291.html

I know it's described as an intentional design, but I think it's not well thought out. If you don't like it, let Outlaw know. It's a real annoyance for my wife and me. We had some complaints with our Harmony remote, and Harmony *did* address the complaints because so many people told them about it. The problem with Harmony was an "intentional design" as well, and it was ultimately changed because most users found it a bad design. Anyway, if it bugs you, let them know.
