Squeezebox quality

I bought a Logitech Squeezebox Classic (SB3) 5 years ago mainly because I had seen it in use in several suites at an audiophile show.  My unit has died so I need to replace it but I'm not sure with what. Do all the streamers in the squeezebox line have the same audio quality?  They all appear to use a different DAC.
(And no I can't afford a Transporter)

You can pick up a Squeezebox Touch used here on Audiogon for about $300 or less. I have used one for about 4 years now and it has proved to be very reliable. The first 3 years I ran it with it's analogue outs and sound was surprisingly good. The last year I ran it with a Parasound Zdac which did improve the sound but it was a subtle difference.
I have not heard the Classic but when the Touch came out many praised it's DAC as an improvement in that price range.
Good luck.
