I can sync via ethernet 2 SB3s located 5 meter apart in the same room for hours on end and can't hear any drift or defect. I have been synching ok 1 software player (squeezelite) and an SB3 playing in another room. Increased distance and volume difference smoothe out small drifts.
iPeng as a software player is an extremely simple solution and offers a nice user interface (and sync is not its forte --I don't think pippin condones using sync on iPeng). I haven't used packaged distributions of squeezelite but I doubt any can be as easy as iPeng. I do believe the right hardware/soft player combo will yield superior results. IMHO if super-accurate synching is critical, there is no substitute to a good second-hand squeezebox (and not a Duet...) My assessment of using soft players dates back a bit.
