Any info on sqeezebox slim devices?

It seems pretty simple to hookup. Go from PC to sqeezebox to preamp. You can go wireless or hookup via ethernet. One question I have is how is the sound quality? I would be ripping on to my hard drive using a lossless compression most likely Flac. Would the sound quality be equal to that of a high end CD Player, or equal to that of an IPOD, or somewhere in between. This seems a little better than the Sonis system being it lets you use your home stereo to listen to your music. It seems reasonably priced as well.

Sound quality is very good and the modders can make it better. Most basic one is to simply upgrade the wall wart for about $20

Tons of information on the SLIM Forums and also on www.audioasylum.com in the PC forum - just do a search http://www.audioasylum.com/forums/pcaudio/bbs.html

General consensus is that its better then an iPod - and because of jitter issues inherent to an electro-optical-mechanical device it takes a very good CD player to best either the SLIM or the iPod. A CD player that costs way more then either digital device

Alternate choice you didn't miss but failed to list is SB to DAC
