I'm probably forgetting a few things, but:
- much better sound quality than a PC's onboard audio, without a
pressing need for an external S/PDIF or USB DAC
- better S/PDIF, with lower jitter
- MUCH better audio syncing with other Squeezeboxes
- IR remote control giving instant ability to skip, repeat, shuffle,
change volume, as well select music, without a need for a smart phone,
tablet or other wifi device
- touch control, with no need to even find the remote
- a color display of what's playing
- very low energy use
You can get some of this functionality with a PC and smart phone or
other wifi device, but it _requires_ using the wifi device.
