S,My transport/ dac days are over. Believe it or not, the Lynx is stellar, is in one box, has 3 pair of balanced outs, can function as a pre amp with one analog and digital in, and the sound quality is in a different league compared to my old trans/dac combo. So no, I haven't heard the CEC...but they are highly praised.
I am not sure that the Squeeze box even modded is the cats meow...although, the transporter looks promising.
Anyhow, the convenience of a pc is really hard to beat, and for the money, the value is way of the charts.
FOr instance, there a poster at the PC audio forum that is using the same sound card I have and the PC as a digital crossover, and he says that the computer/ Lynx combo sounds better than his Marchand xm 44. That is about out the same price for the Lynx Card and the crossover software! YOu would still need a dac, and if you throw in room correction (which is esseentially free with a PC based system)....value is off the chart.
