Ckorody,
And are you SURE I would get better sound?
If so, why?
My system has the Apple's newest version of an Airport Base Station, the "AirPort Extreme Base Station with Gigabit Ethernet" . Does that help?
Thanks!
... but if I were after the ultimate I would take both the wireless and the Toslink out of the design, wireless first.I could run an ethernet cable from the Apple Xserve RAID directly to a Mac in my listening room. From the Mac I could use Toslink to connect to the Benchmark DAC1. But it would be a lot less convenient.

Wireless is prone to interferenceWhat would that sound like?

This leaves you with a Squeezebox, Transporter or their new device the Duet at the end of the Ethernet cableI don't understand what part of my system the Squeezbox replaces. Why is it better?
The cleanest set-up would be to hang a NAS on the Ethernet network thus taking the computer completely out of the equation except for ripping.Forgive my ignorance, I'm not sure what you mean when you say "hang a NAS on the Ethernet network". Please explain.
Thanks!
