Not if you're thinking what I think you're thinking.

The Airport Express has extra circuitry that converts the streamed  
digital music (Apple Lossless Codec) to an analog output suitable for  
a stereo. I'm not aware of any other wireless base that has this  
capability and will interact with iTunes.
