I own both the Apple Airport Express and the Squeezebox 3 and run them into my ECD-1 DAC. I mainly kept the Airport Express for music sampling out of iTunes. The Squeeze box is a Superior sounding product as it offers a SPDIF output versue the Toslink output only on the Airport. Using them on their own with their internal DAC's yields the same results. The Squeezebox is the clear winner.
The only thing I do not like about the Squeezebox is the Slim Server Software. iTunes is easier and quicker to do things like assemble playlists and whatnot. However, the Squeezebox is clearly a superior product when it comes to Sound Quality and is easier to setup than the Airport.
