See my system description in another thread -- it easily qualifies as "audiophile" and frankly quite high-end at that.
I was motivated to buy into the Squeezebox after reading about it. I bought one. However, it has drawbacks: 1. Periodic drop-outs. I don't feel like I should have to wire a house because a device tauted and paid for as wireless has insufficent buffering or whatever. I've gone through tech support and two threads and it boils down to the Squeezebox not working well with my network -- as seems to be the case for others. This is not an audiophile solution. 2. I mentioned, and you perhaps overlooked, that I will continue to use the Squeezebox, but as an alternative interface. It will be nice to use iTunes and the Squeezebox (hard wired) at the same time. Much more flexibility. 3. I didn't mention and don't plan on using Airtunes. Why would I? My point is that I will plant an iMac on my system stand and use it (and the Squeezebox) with an outboard DAC. I hardly see this as off-topic. This is an on-topic attempt to get this thing to work properly and consistently in a high-end audio system. I will no tolerate drop-outs due to possible poor design and fine-print-so-tiny-that-you-can't-read-it about network problems. Note, by the way, that I have never, in years, experienced a drop-out with the Airport Express -- not even when using it for music. Brad Johnson at Lavry speculates that Slim Devices scrimped on the buffer.
