I have something called a veetop sold by amazon that will do what you want for $36 American and even sports an optical output. The manual isn't great and therefor it only got a 3.7 ranking on Amazon. Asside from the audio, you can transmit to your wi-fi or if you are traveling in a car directly to it from a smart phone or Idevice. It originally sold for something like $89 but is now $36. Because of the louxy manual, Amazon does have an instruction page you can get to by clicking on the veetop link in the description.

I did know of other solutions but wanted to keep the thing simple and cost affective as the person who started the discussion was on a budget. Arcam for example have a complete AirPlay DAC solution which replaces the Airport Express, its $800 though - I'm sure its worth every penny knowing the quality of Arcam gear -. Only my musings of course but - when it comes to audio quality - I think I'd rather put my faith in company's with a reputation for audio quality such as Arcam rather than those that don't have a reputation for audio quality such as Dlink but - having said all that - I appreciate that we're all on a limited budget and have to do the best we can do with what we can afford.
