I have my music files inside a TS-210 QNAP NAS. My Squeezebox touch gets FLAC files from the NAS and then digitally feeds a DAC Magic by Cambridge Audio. I have noticed the appearance of android-based media players who have S/Pdif interface. One of these players with "Squeese Player" will likely mock up a Squeezebox. I would then connect the DAC Magic externally through S/PDif I/F. There would be no way to control the box without a phone of the TV but this is not a problem.
Concerning quality, Since the DAC Magic is a properly designed re-clocking DAC I doubt there will be any audible difference with my current setup even if the S/Pdif output of the player had to be less carefully designed than the current one of the Squeezebox touch. The other option is to use the built-in Twonky UPnP Server in the NAS and buy a Music Player such as the CA NP30. This player has a very good DAC inside so it will probably make sense to use it instead of the external DAC I have. This will mean getting rid of the whole Slimdevices/Logitech legacy and find another usage for the DAC Magic.
