My experience running a Squeezebox from an old XP machine was excellent. I've sold all kinds of players as a dealer and tried them on my system. Including YBA that is up your alley; older DAC chips,. no brick wall, no upsampling etc. The SB w/FLAC to my Musical Fidelity tube DAC in my Trivista player was the cleanest, least edgy, digital playback ever.....by a lot.
That PC died and I'll be setting up a new one. In the mean time I'm playing CD's again and both the glass optical and my coaxial are inferior by a lot. After over a year of streaming via the SB the difference is quite easy to hear. The image,dynamic range and most else in the sound is fine. As usual the easily heard problem area is HF.
