Thats was my point, the SB itself is simple yet powerfull, I listen a lot on radio, RadioIO Jazz was it today.

The only amount off "tweaking" i done is actually a carefull setupp off EAC my favored ripping application.
Nowdays I ripp my CD's while their spanking new, first spinn is in pc to ripp them.
I also did georges little test last year with the dts files to ensure that i have bit perfect transfer

I would have a hard time telling it apart from my G98 regarding soundquality I use the digital coax to my G68J. This is very stable I have never heard a pop or screach or any kind off disturbance. Our belowed M processor's do pop and squeek with some spdiff sources the Squeezebox is not one off them it locks perfect all the time, even when I powercyle it or uppdate firmware or reset something, network trouble only mutes it.

I'm very pleased with it for what it does and the price is very competitive.
For me it saved money as i did not have to invest in a decent tuner, DAB anyone ;-) forget that
