Apple TV vs Squeezebox touch

I am streaming wireless from my Macbook Pro to the new model apple TV using digital outs to an external DAC. Does the SB Touch offer better sound quality for wireless streaming or does it simply offer more flexibility for the higher price?

The SBT is not at all tough(!) to use but I'd guess we have all lost a fair number of neurons in the past few years so I cannot guarantee you will agree.

The Touch is easy, cheap, sounds great and plays hi res music! up to 96k/24 off a usb stick. sounds incredible.

I love my Apple TV. There seemed too many choices with the SB touch and the Wadia ipod player so I called Apple and went with their recommendation. Installed Itunes on my PC, then loaded all my cd's losslessly. Connected the ATV by ethernet cable to my computer, HDMI to my tv, and optical to my custom built D/A. The quality of sound is noticeably superior to my Audio Horizons modified Arcam cd player. Using the simple Apple remote, the convenience of creating a playlist of enjoyable songs is more fun than I deserve.
