I have a Squeezebox Boom. A lovely little thing it is too, and while the sound is good it's not exceptional. A great little device for uncritical listening.
Mark Reading the Boom literature it appears that the Boom does not have analogue outputs to feed a stereo system. Is that correct?

correct...that's because it is a stereo system. Why would you ?
A standard Squeezebox is for that purpose.

A shame really, as it would have taken a handful of additional parts to provide analogue outputs. A Boom with analogue outs could do double duty as a table radio and feed for the main system, I thought that was obvious. There are times when one wishes to listen to the radio without having to turn on the whole system. correct...that's because it is a stereo system. Why would you ?

At the recent Stuff show in the Docklands, the Logitech stall was letting them out at about �165. That might be a guide as to what you might be looking for as a max. discount.

DABS are good (good prices, quick delivery) as long as you don't have issues with the kit. Then they are a right pain in the A to deal with. I've been told by one manufacturer that they deal in grey imports, hence their competitive prices...
Caveat emptor.
I now only use them as a source of last resort.
