How would quality of Squeezbox 2 digital out compare to today's digital player offerings?

Been toying with the idea of music server (Raspberry Pi in particular) and wondered how the quality of the digital outputs from todays offerings may compare to that of a Squeezebox 2? I ask because I never found the overall sound quality of playing my ripped CD's as FLAC files sent through my SB2 to my then DAC (a Theta Pro Basic, sometimes with a Genesis Lens in front) to be any better than spinning the actual CD's. I'm not sure that they even sounded equal to playing the CD's, but it was never better. What might I expect in today's digital player landscape?
