Just a suggestion, but you might want to look at the Seaton Submersive. Made by Mark Seaton, two 15 inch speakers and 2400 watts. Just google it for more info. I own two and love them. 
Sonos and iTunes
I'm suspecting by now you have discovered that the new sonos software allows anyone with the sonos ap on their smart phone to play music off their phone on your system. Pretty cool.......they must have been listening to you in July

Suggest you take a look on the Sonos forum. Everything you need should be there.http://forums.sonos.com/Good luck. 
Best CD/SACD Players under $3K
Here's a third on the Esoteric SA-50. A super "one box" solution to oh so many needs. 
Cd player w/ digital input + volume control $2500
Sonos does have a lot of jitter. Nice thing about the Esoteric SA 50 is that it also reclocks, plus a lot of other nice features....and I've seen them sell here used for approx 3K. Check it out:http://esoteric.teac.com/audio_players/sa-50/ 
Cd player w/ digital input + volume control $2500
Look for a used Esoteric SA-50, as that will handle all your needs. It will serve as a preamp, play SACD & CD, and it also has a great built DAC that you can utilize with Sonos. 
Dedicated SACD players with digital inputs?
I've got the Esoteric, and I think it's awesome. In addition to SACD, CD, and DAC functions, it also reclocks so if you a using a Sonos or a SB Touch, it is an excellent addition.

Tom - Your comments relative to AC power and proper grounding being the very necessary foundation for a "good" system are very similar to those expressed by a Nordost rep at a presentation I attended just a few days ago in Dallas. After establishi...

Agiaccio......I don't believe that the above posters are giving Sonos the kudo's they deserve. Sonos provides an excellent platform for your computer based music. It's relatively inexpensive, it's easy to use and install, product support is excell... 
Who has found happiness giving up cd player?
Replace the X03 with an SA-50, and add a Sonos for your computer playback. You'll possibly louse a little on the CD/SACD playback side, but the gain from Sonos platform (run through the SA-50's DAC) will well offset any loss of quality you might e... 
Looking for CDP/ss amp 3K each
I'd second the Ayre V-5xe (there are currently two listed) and with that, you could also add the Ayre CX-7e CDP which are selling used at less than 2K, or the Ayre C-5xe Universal Player which are selling used in the $3500 range. 
esoteric x05 vs sa50
Nordost Vishnu.........have not compared it to any others, or even the stock PC, Installed it new with the unit at the time of purchase. Very satisfied with the combo. 
esoteric x05 vs sa50
Digital in's did it for me. The added flexability they off surpassed any shortcomings that the CD/SACD might have. I'm really enjoying my SA-50 which is now about 1 month old. 
help me make sonos better
Guys,Up until about a month ago I was running a Sonos through a Dac Magic, and I was very happy with the quality of the music, which we used primarily for background and casual listening. Certainly not at the level of your vinyl playback, but stil...
