I would suggest that anyone that wants HiFi should either get a
Squeezebox Touch, as it's likely going to be the last Squeezebox with
excellent audio quality, or get something from a HiFi manufacturer that
you know is going to be there tomorrow and you know is going to focus on
HiFi also tomorrow.
The only issue with HiFi manufacturers is that even if they are
focusing on audio quality they aren't necessarily focusing on streaming
audio, so their products can have other disadvantages compared to
Squeezebox products, but if audio quality is the number one priority my
feeling is still that a HiFi manufacturer is the right choice for you.
Just be aware that things like synchronized playback between different
rooms aren't necessarily going to be something they focus on 2 years in
the future, because it's not something that enhance the audio quality
from an audiophile perspective.
