I'd be wary of connecting a Squeezebox directly to a power amp without a volume control. The issue is the fact that the SB employs a software volume control, so there's always the prospect that a bug or glitch will cause the Squeezebox to lose control of the volume level. Unlike most hardware volume controls, it's always a possibility when its done in software.
