no such thing as a USB modded AE. nor for that matter a USB modded SBboth are network devices that live on ethernet or wifi (802.11) networks.
think of the AE as a receiver (radio receiver which is all that wifi is). one thing it can received is an audio signal which can be then sent along via a mini Toslink adapter built into the plug to a DAC.
in contrast the SB has a DAC built in as well as a remote control and display that allows you to access your music library from wherever you have an SB. In comparison, the AE is a one way device that will only play what it receives and provides no way to access the hard drive.
