Re: Why?

The Squeezebox is different from hooking your laptop directly to your stereo/DAC. The SB allows you to stream your music, using wifi, to your stereo/DAC. This way you do not have to run a cable from your laptop to the stereo. In addition, you can have your laptop in your lap or on a table next to your listening chair and don't have to worry about a wire running across the floor that people/animals can trip on. I stream my music to a SB2 from my office computer and use a wifi PDA to browse music and control the SB. This way I can walk around the house with the PDA in my pocket.

The disadvantage of the SB is that it will not plau those annoying windows sounds. In addition, you can not stream the audio from games.
