Squeezebox Classic - Do you like it?

Running a 35' cable from my iMac to the Processor is not a good idea due to jitter. I followed a thread on that recently on Audiogon - very informative. Steve at Empirical Audio was kind enough to answer my call for free advice and recommended, among other things, that I consider wireless using Squeezebox and the Pace Car Reclocker as one solution to eliminating that long coaxial run from computer to processor.

Input from other users of the Squeezebox Classic would be appreciated.

My system utilizes a Krell HTS 7.1 Processor, Krell Monos and Maggie 20.1s, etc.

I use a SB3 with a Welbourne Labs after market power supply running into a non-USB Benchmark DAC with both Toslink and SPDIF Silver cable and both methods sound wonderful to me running wirelessly to the SB3/Dac combo from a Dell Quad Core PC over a DLink DI-628, Version C router. Router rarely blips, PC runs rock steady with WIndows XP, and Squeezecenter runs great for me. Only time I have an issue is when Dominion Power decides to blink once in a while. Otherwise I love the setup, runnning it all day long streaming music to our system. The Welbourne Labs aftermarket power supply made backgrounds much blacker by a substantial amount to my ears and only cost @$200. The wife and I still like spinning Vinyl at night with a nice bottle of wine, but for everyday, 12 hours a day household listening the SB3 Combo is SCHWEEEEEET for the money, and convenient.

Enjoy the Music.
