Oh, I'm even more of an audiophile heretic in the headphone setup, Yippedidou. I'm relying on iMac/iTunes via AirPlay to Airport Express (gasp, yes, limited to 44/16, and yes Toslink output!), which then feeds my headphone rig. It works reliably, lets me use Apple Remote on iPad to control it, and sounds pretty good:
iMac/iTunes - AirPlay - Airport Express - generic Toslink cable - Genesis Digital Lens - Black Cat Veloce SPDIF cable - Red Wine Audio Audeze Edition - Audeze LCD-2.
