Can a apple airport express be part of a audiophile system?


Hi, I am curious as to who uses the airport express in their system and how the experience compares to a cd player or high end music server. What I like about the airport express is the price and ease of use with itunes. I am worried however about the audio quality since I have read about people experiencing delays, dropouts, and the newest model having unacceptable jitter. I have also looked at the Sony Hap S1 and Aurelic Aries Mini as high end options but the price and usability scares me off. Thoughts?

Hi thanks for the input! I intend on having the AE connected by ethernet to my router. I did read about the Remedy Reclocker which directly reduces jitter. Unfortunately it misses the point of saving money and making things simpler when I start thinking about adding chains to the system to fix the inherent problems of the AE. This all gets really confusing. 
Thanks. Why did you personally choose to go with the AE over some of the other digital solutions?
