Curious whether I really need it.

You are right in that there is a degree of overlap. I use both the airport express and my wadia. The airport express works fine except that sometimes there are hiccups with the transmission, even though i am all wired in, not wireless. Also the computer needs to be on for it to work i believe. Not so the Wadia or even a sonos with a NAS drive since you need to use itunes.

I envisage dragging a pair of DSP 3100s into the garden with a idock for summer party although i guess i could plug in an airport express there as well.
