NAIM Audio have announced an interesting new DAC, which should hit the shops shortly. It features a large RAM buffer and no PLL clocks, so should be largely immune from the effects of jitter in the source. If it does what NAIM claim it does, it may well be possible to drive it adequately from a squeezebox. There is a SYNC light on the front which indicates whether the source is within acceptable tolerance - if it lights, data will be buffered and reclocked so jitter would not be an issue. So, I would wait until this DAC comes out, and see which sources will sync with it.
