Responding, in part, to Raylpc, I agree that I would like input that compares apples to apples. I have asked for such specific input on another thread in this formumhttp://www6.head-fi.org/forums/showthread.php?t=164381.
I haven't used squeezebox, but do use Airport Express (optical) with a Mac system, and it certainly seems to be one hell of a tool, expecially at the price. I upload my CDs to hard drive in Apple Lossless (with error correction), and have been delighted. I currently use a HeadRoom Micro Amp (desk module) and a Micro DAC. Like it so much, I ordered a Home Balanced to see how much better it can get. My guess is that it will take a high end CD player to be a better source. But how good a CD player is something I'd like to know.
