To reiterate what the prior guys said--you need to check your iTunes preferences to see what format you are improting your CDs with. The default format is LOSSY compressed bad sounding audio. You have to manually change the format to the Apple Lossless format for importing CDs. If you haven't done that, you must re-rip all the CDs in your iTunes library. If you have downloaded music into that library, undoubtedly that is also in a LOSSY format which will also sound bad through a decent system. Lastly, if you have downloaded music from the iTunes music store, none of it will play through Duet/Squeezebox/Transporter because that music is copy protected and won't stream to the Duet etc. So you have preliminary tasks to do before you go out and buy new electronics. Once you upgrade your music library to Lossless format, you may find you don't need any new speakers, amps etc. I read the Decco ad and that piece does not look like a bad compromise if you have good mini monitor speakers to hook the piece up to. Didn't see what the price of it is but if not too expensive it might be worth a try with small mini monitors and a Squeezebox.
