There's no question, the Squeezbox has the best audio quality of the two boxes - that's one reason why it scored so highly when we reviewed it a few years back - but if quality was the only consideration, I'd stick with my CDs. As it is, bit-rate MP3 is good enough for me.
Then there's a convenience factor as well as the quality factor: the Squeezebox is needs a separate server so it's a two-box solution.
Logitech does a Squeezebox with an integrated 2.5in hard drive, they've got themselves a customer. Again.
