The Stereo connection kit is $50 CDN, does the Source carry an alternative Fibre optic/coaxial connector afor the Airport Express? Radio Shack? I hear they do..anyone know the price/name?

Also what difference do you think it will make going from composite (RCA) to fibre optic/coax listening to mp3s?

Thanks for any help in advance...

I think this in large part depends on how you've encoded your MP3s.

I would say that you won't hear a difference unless you have this or higher encoding:
- Stereo Bit Rate --> 256Kbps
- Sample Rate --> 44.100 kHz
- Channels --> Stereo
- Stereo Mode --> Normal

Also, the original source quality will affect the outcome as well.
