A SB Touch + EDO/my toolbox reflects pretty much that what you'll achieve when you're ready with your journey.
I've done serious modifications of MPD running on a stripped down rt-Linux in 2007/8 already. My MPD base setup never sounded perfect to me. MPD comes with certain limitations. (Once in a while I verify that view.)
MPD hasn't developed much since then.
Streaming audio data I consider pretty awful anyhow. The network suddenly becomes a part of the tweaking game. That'll drive you creasy.
I still prefer my SB setup over any other Linux setup though - but only because of iPad control via iPeng, the nice database management and an above average (acceptable) soundquality.
Soundwise I could take my setup from 2008 out of the pocket and use that one instead. I'd end up with slightly better sound.
CPLAY was never better then my own Linux based setup. No idea why Cics never got out of that XP dead end street.
Good luck on your journey.
Enjoy.
