Squeezebox Duet VS AppleTV


I've seen recommendations for both options for accessing digital music files, but before I decide, I have a couple basic questions for each alternative.

1. If I connect a Squeezebox to my pre-amp, does that effectively "disable" the volume control on the Squeezebox controller?

2. If I connect an AppleTV box to my PC and then rip my CD collection to the AppleTV box, can I then disconnect the PC from the box and just access the box directly (using an iTOUCH as remote)? Will the iTOUCH display all the track info and album art?

If you do run multiple Duet receivers (I do) you can sync them to play the same music as well. Not always useful but in the summer with the house opened up during a party or cookout, you can play the same music everywhere.

I have to say that using an external DAC makes a HUGE difference in SQ. I'd suggest always using one with a Duet. You don't have to spend that much either, as some very good DAC's like the Musical Fidelity V-DAC, and CA DACMagic work very well for not that much $$.
