RE: What would you do with a brand new SB Duet?

Hi Fred,
The Duet analogue output isn't state-of-the-art but pleasant and sounds fine for all but the most revealing systems. Analogue output has low jitter but the noise floor isn't quite capable of > 16-bit resolution. This doesn't matter unless the rest of your system is up to spec and you actually have true high-resolution music anyway!

As usual, feel free to connect a good DAC for the analogue output upgrade. Of course it is "limited" to 96kHz, but that's no big deal. I agree the vast majority of albums are CD resolution anyhow. And the majority of "hi-res" albums don't take advantage of 24-bits and > 96kHz anyway.

Logitech Music Server remains the workhorse server in my system. Stable, fast, easy to run. No problem.
