I just installed a Sonos and run the optical-out so I can use the DACs in my processor. The services steam at 128kbps WMA which is near CD quality. I have A/Bed with CDs and it's hard to tell a difference. I noticed a big quality difference over the music stations I was getting though my cable provider. The handheld remote is very handy. I listen to Rhapsody and Pandora the most. With Pandora, you can create your own stations based on songs or artists you like. Rhapsody streams endless streams of songs on its stations with no voice-overs. You can skip songs too (I don't know how they do this). I just like to listen to a variety of music in my house and Sonos is a great solution for this. Squeezebox Duet is similar and the remote looks cooler, but not sure what music services they will be offering.
