The Teac A-H01 seems like a very fine product. And with the build in Bang Olufsen ICE-power amps, you can expect very good sound.

Have you considered a Behringer UAC202 about £25 coupled with a decent small amp? Definitely Linux compatible. Thanks. There are so many factors I have to satisfy - the MS speakers have to stay (other half swears by them!). Amp should have remote control - and not look like something out of a Soviet-era Mig fighter. The TEAC looks good but is too expensive really for me to justify - also I'm not sure it'll work with squeezelite. Also, there's a unit number limit on how many boxes are strewn around. Told you there are many factors to encompass! Oh dear ...
