When my Squeezebox SB3 died late last year, I bought a Bluesound Node 2 to replace it. I liked the Node a lot, but just couldn't keep the thing connected to my network (wireless or wired).

After troubleshooting for weeks, I gave up and gave the Raspberry Pi a chance, and I'm glad I did. I have a 2B with a HiFiBerry Digi+ running piCorePlayer talking to my existing Logitech Media Server setup on my PC. It took just a few hours to set up, and it has performed flawlessly for over nine months. (After I knew it would work out, I added an inexpensive HiFiBerry case.) I couldn't be happier.

  I use the coax out. I never tried the optical out.
  
  Also, I paid the extra $20 (or whatever it was at the time) for the Digi+ with the transformer. I don't know how much that matters, but the whole thing was so cheap I didn't worry about the small incremental cost.
