airplay dropouts

if I purchase a new Airport Express, with 802.11n, to replace my older one, will that solve my problem with dropouts while I am streaming from my brand-new iMac, to my brand-new Airport Extreme 802.11n, to the Airport Express (and from there to my stereo)?

What I have my stereo plugged into now is an older A1264 Airport Express, S/N 6F822189ZP8. Since I installed my new Airport Extreme I've been getting intermittent dropouts that make trying to listen to music via WiFi pointless and frustrating. Before I installed the Airport Extreme I did not experience dropouts. Before that I had a much older Airport Extreme -- the dome-shaped one.

My iMac also connects with the Airport Extreme; that is, it is not hardwired to the router.

Thank you

Scott

Can I use the AirPort device or something similar to transmit audio from the output of my DJ mixing desk to my home Airplay network ?

I'm looking for something that I can plug into the output socket of my Stanton SCS4DJ MP3 mixing desk that will enable me to send the audio output wirelessly to my Airplay network that includes my Denon Ceol Network Music System, Apple TV and any other speakers that I choose to add to my Airplay network. Thanks

Can I AirPlay to multiple AirPort Epress/apple TV/AirPlay devices simultaneously from my iPad only - or do I need a computer running with iTunes?

I want to be able to play music via my iPad or iPhone to an AirPort Express, an Apple TV and a Bose Soundlink Air simultaneously (without the need to have a computer running) - is this possible?

do i need an Airport Express for each device, ie. HDTV, BLURAY PLAYER, MAC?

I am considering getting Apple TV, want to know what all I need to set up my own network. Also, to watch local TV do I still need cable service?

is there audio quality difference between the airport extreme and Apple TV

I want to bring the iTunes library to my stereo, and googling on this there were a number of posts that suggested that Airport Extreme had better decoding for CD quality audio then did the AppleTV. All the iTunes files are of course digital, and I am intending to use the optical output of either the Airport Express or AppleTV.

To really hear a difference I would need to do an A/B test of one against the other - which I do not intend to do, but I do have a very high end system so when things are not as they should be there is no hiding it.

I don't need the AppleTV right now for the theater setting - so video streaming ability would be on hold there, for now but likely added sometime in the next year or so.

It's really a matter of which device is going to be better for delivering the iTunes music library to the stereo system. Why there would be a different between the Airport Extreme and the AppleTV is not clear to me. The limiting source would seem to be the bit rate of the files in iTunes - but perhaps I am missing something. Perhaps there is a difference in DA converters - though that too would seem strange, but with the use of the Digital Optical Out I would think that there should be no difference.

But certainly better to know about it before I buy the device and get it set up - appreciate any thoughts and suggestions.

No Internet network in our RV?

Can we set up a network in our RV, with a airport express and AppleTV? We will not have internet access at the campground, but want to use Airplay from our iOS devices. Is this possible without an Internet connection?
