Oooh Potential Squeezebox Touch replacement

I just read the Audiostream review of the Pioneer Elite N-50 music streamer. It, and the N-30 (same but minus the USB DAC features), seem like potential SBT replacements. They are priced at $500 and $700 list, and offer DLNA connectivity via wired networks or wi-fi with a $150 adapter (or, just get one of those ethernet adaptors that use your home's a/c wiring to provide wired connections in different rooms). They now offer gapless playback, and both Apple and other CODECS, up to 24/192 resolution. No touch screen, but a small color screen on the unit, plus a basic remote. My experience with Pioneer products is that they are easy to set up, easy to use, and very reliable, if not the lasrt word in performance. My main question is whether they are compatible with SmartGain coding, which I find very valuable for listening. Anybody with experience or knowledge, please post! Thanks.
