Sonos turns your house into an ipod

Anyone else have any experience with the Sonos system?
I picked mine up from an enlightened local sound store and have been blown away with the quality of the system. It makes single disc players obsolete. It has a built in fifty watt per side power amp and excellent AD/DA convertors as well as analog inputs and outputs. The handheld remote control has an incredible color screen that allows you scroll through your music collection and internet radio stations. For anyone with a large CD collection the Sonos system is the only way to go.

I enjoyed Robm's "Now it's Cnet" comment--funny, but I agree with Hamburg. No reason these types of systems shouldn't be part of audiophile discussion. However, it'd be helpful if there a little more audiophile content to the posts about Sonos. The features of Sonos are undeniably cool, but how a little more specific description of the amp and DAC performance, compared to other hifi components, that you would buy into with Sonos?

As an aside, seems like Apple should get moving with a multi-remote-speaker version of iTunes.

Well, speaking of the devil, it seems this improvement has come about with the Airport Express firmware update released earlier this month (and at least v6.0.2 of iTunes).
