try a good cable on the AE and you will be surprised. Had both and the SB software was just plain too buggy. Compared to Itunes its was no contest in terms of overall functionality.
Airport Express vs. Squeezebox 3
Wondering if anyone as compared the two? No external DACs. Using Lossless format. I have the Airport Express and love the ease of use with the Mac. Curious if the SB would be an upgrade.
