[quote user="bayerische"]I can't comment on the sound quality of the Sonos, etc... But shouldn't the Mac Mini option with digital out into the Beolab 5's using apple lossless be just as good as the CD?[/quote] yes, a digital file is a digital file, no matter what the source is.

Hi everyone, I am planning to install a beosystem 1 (US) that I had in storage for a couple of years. This to upgrade the good'ol AV7000 that I have been using for a couple of years. Now that we finished some reno's , we can actually have room to put this big clunker and I would appreciate the improvements in sound quality this unit would offer

Indeed a Mac mini with USB dac running linkplayer, with beo4/ipod touch or ipad for control, is a pretty sweet combo as it is. All is connected in my case to a beosystem 7000.
