any cheap DAC for my Airport Express?
I'm somewhat confused. Why do you need a DAC? I have an airport extreme connected to my iMac that acts as my broadcast router. Then, I have airport express at each amp/receiver (three in the house) that plugs in to either a digital or analogue input.

Just so there is no confusion, the apple airport base station and express are both upgradable as well. 
Please help with choosing speakers
If you have a local dealer, go listen to a pair of Harbeths. Of the three systems I have, I'm really enjoying them a lot lately.

NAD C372 Opinions
I just purchased a pair of Harbeth Compact 7ES2's and a NAD C372 - it all sounds great, but I didn't have an opportunity to compare to the 370. 
Jazz Big Band Recommendations?
Don't leave out Maynard Ferguson's big band stuff, guys. Its not as old as some nor as new as others, but his bands always kick hard. And old or not, no one swung harder than Basie's bands.
