Islandflyfisher, Roku does not support FLAC natively either.However, you can use Slimserver to serve up both Apple Lossless and FLAC to Soundbridge. You can use Apple Lossless with both iPod and Soundbridge.

M-Audio Transit uses AK4584. I think it sounds better than DEQ2496. 
After ripping with EAC, what?
Edesilva, have you tried using PocketPC remote control such as TelCanto for SB? I am curious if it is as good as it seems. 
After ripping with EAC, what?
The main shortcoming of Airport Express is the lack of display and remote control. The usability of Squeezebox or Soundbridge is in a different league.

Clever Little Clock - high-end audio insanity?
This brings back memories about how big LED clock can improve the sound. There was even a discussion on whether the green LED clock or red LED clock should be used. 
Any info on sqeezebox slim devices?
As THEY say, money is not everything.Some people consider a cheap NOS DAC like the DAC-Ah gives them the organic sound that beats many expensive DACs. Whatever that means.You really have to survey the market and determine the optimal price/perform...
