Better sound with cable box or Squeezebox Duet?

I compared a Comcast cable box playing digital cable radio to an IPod Nano playing 128kps through an DLO dock using in ceiling speakers in a clients home and the IPod blew way the Comcast box. In another clients home, I compared a Sonos ZP100 screaming Rhapsody to the Comcast box, through in ceiling speakers, and again the Comcast box lost.

In a friend’s home, I compared the new Comcast DVR to a modified Squeezebox3 through an outlaw 990 processor, outlaw 5x200 amp and VSR VR4jr's. Again the Comcast box lost. BTW, the squeezebox was playing 128kps internet radio.

WMMV.

Agreed. Lossless files streamed to an SB sound worlds better than cable radio, internet radio and even satellite radio.
