It has the advantage also of you having made a perfect (I hope) rip to a lossless format that can be delivered perfectly to the DAC of the Squeezebox. The downside of the CD player is that it's having to deal with environmental conditions when playing the CD live (vibrations, dirt, scratches, electrical noise, etc). When ripping with something like EAC it's repeatedly going over the CD doing error correction to ensure the data is perfect. A CD player is just not going to do that.
