HRT music streamer & Airport Extreme

Greetings, has anybody used the Airport Extreme USB output into a HRT music streamer for wireless music fed by a MacBook and iTunes? If so how was the function and sound quality vs. a direct feed from the MacBook USB?
Thanks in advance,
Bennett (aka:hififile)

The AE also has a gigantic JITTER problem with the digital output.
I'm not a fan, but I suspect a 'reclocking' device would help.

If I had it to do over again, I'd buy the Apple TV.....

Don't forget the 'mini toslink' adaptor. Don't worry about 'audiophile' here, since it is HOLLOW. And worth a buck. tops.

I was referring to the Airport EXPRESS which has the huge jitter problem.
Stereophile measured it during testing.
Sorry for any confusion.
