I totally agree
For the money you can't beat the squeezebox.
You can buy stand alone devices, receivers to fit to your hi-fi and even the audiophile transporter.
It works really well with a NAS box as there are builds of the server app which can be used on some Linux NAS devices.
It is also very well supported with plug ins and helper apps for example I can control my set up from my Android phone.
The other great thing about the SB3 is that it has a 24bit Burr Brown DAC. You would have to shell out a serious (£1K ish) amount to get a CD player with that sort of audio quality.
