About the Dynaudio BM 5A's: I found them to be extremely good for nearfield mixing-desk usage, but not so good for home hifi. They are nearfield and the tweeters are extremely directional (as they should be for their intended mixing purpose) - which means you had better not move your head even an

Have you tried doing a clear library and rescan? When I first installed SqueezeCenter 7 I was also having problems with sync sounding choppy and being off 10 secons or more, even for radio stations. At first I thought it was a softsqueeze problem, but it happened even when syncing only hardware

You may also want to unplug/re-plug all of the SB3's, to force them to restart--I had to do that with mine for different reasons after they got the SC7 firmware update. In my experience SC7's sync is markedly superior to previous versions, so it's worth trying to figure out why your situation is
