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.

Had both and the SB software was just plain too buggy. Compared to Itunes its was no contest in terms of overall functionality.

It is called an Off-Ramp Wi-Fi. It is a LOT better than the stock AE, but still not as good as a stock SB3. I have all of these, the SB3, AE, Sonos and Olive. Steve N.
