Logitech Squeezebox Touch DAC: How Good?

Logitech Squeezebox Touch's are allegedly raining out of UPS trucks into the arms of new owners, as we speak.... or as you read this ;-)

NOW, advance word is that the analog out is a huge step up from it's predessor. It's alleged to have quite a good DAC.

How good?

Those of you with some experience on this matter - please speak up! It is stomping your Berkeley DAC? Empirical? Weiss? Peachtree? Cambridge? Devilsound?

(Is it listenable?!)

The world wants to know!

The Squeezebox Touch sounds interesting and I would like to try one.

Can someone please explain: to organize my various music files - whether ripped from EAC, ripped through iTunes, downloaded from HD tracks, or downloaded from iTunes....

Does the Squeezebox Touch provide music server software to organize the music library?

Or does it just look through to My Music or whatever, and stream and display it on the Touch device?

If so, and I organize all music with the Squeezebox in miind, what happens when I try to synch my iPod? Would an iPod touch be better than an iPod Classic.

Thanks - if I can figure this out, then I may finally be organized and fully integrated inside and outside the house!

Re DAC and sound, there is quite a good review in the new Stereophile.

I am thinking Behringer A500s and Epos speakers for quick and easy music anywhere in the house.
