DAC/DVD player or iMac/Sqeezebox?

I would be using the digital out, so bypassing the analog outs and the internal DAC.

From a strictly audio standpoint, it's tough to say because we'd need to know the quality of the analog audio outs on your DVD player to compare it to the Squeezebox. But I can say that the convenience factor involved in computer audio is worth quite a bit.

I'd be willing to bed that the Squeezebox would at least sound about as good as the DVD player, and would also offer more functionality.
