Does it have comparable sound is what matters....
I understand that streaming is important to you, - but under traditional, "buy it and it's yours" audiophile standards, - streaming is not up to quality. To many others streaming is not important at all, and a waste of good money.
Besides; the few quality streaming services available have very limited selection, compared to buying CDs and ripping them. That's not even talking about the crappy bandwidth at inflated, (and only getting worse), prices in the USA.
The best quality for playback, (whether it be digital files or discs), is what you have sitting in your rack, - or your own HD. The OP, may be excluding streaming entirely from his analysis.
""in Digital and decide that if it a route that you want to pursue.""
If the route is high quality, - it does NOT include a Squeezebox.
""A Squeezebox Touch used on E-Bay is a Great Introduction."
It's not clear that he wants an introduction, or at least, he appears to want a higher quality introduction than the Squeezebox can provide..
I say this as a lover of the Squeezebox, - who appreciates it for what it is, a wonderful little box, that nonetheless, has no place in a high-end audio rack.

Where people had paid to see inside,
For entertainment they watch his body twist
Behind his eyes he says, 'I still exist.'"
