If you get a DVD drive make sure you get a dual layer capable drive.
That can come in handy for "backing-up" your DVD collection.
There's plenty of free software out there that makes it easy.

Does the SB3 still downsample if you're using an external DAC? Or does
it pass the digital stream intact (e.g. can it pass 88.2kHz 24bit data
to an external DAC)?

You know, I just don't know; I have always been on the other side of the
issue obtaining the patents, not enforcing them so this is a weak area

Regardless of how the system is set up, a phono preamp is of course
required. From then on, we have two choices:
1. phono preamp -> analogue preamp -> power amp
2. phono preamp -> A/D converter -> Transporter

You want to see the signal path BEFORE it gets onto a CD/vinyl...it

Thanks for everyone's help. To answer a few of your questions:
As yet I dont own a Squeezebox.
The Stello doesnt have a volume control so this would be handled by
the amp.
Not that Im quite understanding the disadvantage of this!
