I agree mostly - except that the Squeezebox is, from a purely technical standpoint, a non-neglible source of jitter. Whether your average Joe can tell the difference compared to a $100 CD-plyaer is another issue - but it is at least measureable. In any case, it sounds damned well good enough for me, at the moment anyway! -- Mike Anderson 'FREE RADICAL RADIO!'
