Actually, the Apple Express is only $50 and would be much better suited to your needs as it wouldn't constantly resample the music to 16/48 as the ATV does.

Likewise, given your question above, I'm sure that you would likely feel that the AE is a close competitor to your Briston Preamp... And that one of those Bose units a likely competitor in sound quality to your Dynaudio's.
