If you're contemplating moving away from LMS, my comment would be that there is *still* no acceptable alternative to the Squeezebox ecosystem. You can take that bodged excuse for a media delivery protocol (DLNA) and stick it where the sun don't shine.
My main system is a TP driving active monitors via the balanced outputs. So any replacement would have to include balanced analogue outs. Until recently, I'd have said the obvious replacement would be a Touch plus suitable DAC (Benchmark, Lavry, or similar). But now we have the prospect of the CSP2, which will have balanced outputs, and John Swenson claims will have a superb sounding DAC. So if my TP died today, I'd probably get a Wandboard, install CSOS, and make do with a cheap balanced DAC (eg. Cambridge DAC Magic) while waiting for the CSP2 carrier board to become available.
