Squeezebox Vs Duet

Which has better sound quality?
I really like the duet remote but if sound quality is better on the sb3 I could go that way and add the duet remote later.
Current 2 ch system is an Arcam se8 to Modded Lite Dac Ah to B&K reference 20. I am looking to make a move up in sound quality and at the same time add the convenience of pc based audio.
Thanks
Steve

It should not matter if you use the digital out! However, your best combination is the Squeezebox with an ipod touch. Ipod touch will totally replace the duets remote. The remote for the duet costs about the same as the 32Gb ipod touch, so there is no reason NOT to buy an ipod touch and just the duet receiver/ or the squeezebox (for better viewing.)

The touch is lighter, bigger screen, allows you to surf the net, and take your music with you (obviously). Maybe look into the 16GB ipod touch to save some money. The duet remote is a waste if you EVER plan to buy the ipod touch (IMHO).

I must admit I approach the situation differently then you. I have a squeezebox ALREADY, and was thinking about buying the duet remote. CLEARLY the ipod touch is the way to go in this situation, and would provide maximum flexibility. While not the most cost effective setup, it is the way to go, if possible.
