Following in the Squeezebox Touch's footsteps......Have you ever used a Squeezebox Touch and if so how would you compare this to the Touch?Cut-Throat

I had a Squeezebox 'classic' i.e. Logitech SB3. The Denon Heos Link replaced it after Rhapsody quit supporting the SB3 (or the other way around). I thought the SB3 sound quality was excellent, but it required an external DAC to sound its best. The HEOS Link sound is just as good if not better, and does just fine with the built-in DAC alone.
The SB3 had a dedicated remote and display on the unit, which was nice. The HEOS Link uses a tablet or phone as both a display and remote control. It gives more information on the display, album art, etc. and is just as convenient. So the HEOS is a worthy replacement to the Squeezebox as far as I am concerned.
Did you ever use LMS (Logitech Media Server) with your Squeezebox? If so, how would you compare LMS with the Heos App?

No, I never used LMS with the Squeezebox. I had some local files on the PC, but 99% of listening was streaming from Rhapsody or Internet radio.
Lately I have been slowly converting my CD collection to FLAC. I had a spare 1TB USB drive (about the size of a deck of cards) and I am putting the FLAC files on this drive as I rip them (with dbpoweramp). The drive is plugged into the back of the HEOS Link. It is self-powered via the USB port and is only on when the HEOS Link is on. Seems to work very well. The HEOS app shows nice big album art while the ripped FLAC files are playing.
