I love my cd player, my turntable and my FM tuner. However, my unmodded Squeezebox with no external DAC has become my number one source of listening to music. It's just too easy to access nearly unlimited amounts of music instantly. With vinyl, there's the whole cleaning ritual, with cd's you've got to find the one disc among over a thousand and put it back in its place when done listening, and my FM tuner is tuned to the only jazz staion in town. The Squeeezbox, for a miniscule fraction of the price of all of the aforementioned components does all of those functions much faster and it is much more convenient. I'm not quite ready to give up my other sources just yet, but I can see the handwriting on the wall. Once I pull the trigger on a Modwright-modded Transporter, the cd player and the tuner will have to go. I cannot afford that kind of redundancy.
