Henry have you ran your Touch wireless at all? I'm wondering if you can tell much of a difference between wired and wireless? I have both a Classic and a Touch and am running both wireless through a Linksys E3000 with excellent results.
I ran my Squeezebox Touch wireless initially for a month or two. Never had a problem with that, and did not notice any difference when switching to wired. As long as all the bits get from the PC/NAS to the Squeezebox fast enough, it doesn't matter.
Wireless is more susceptible to interference (dropouts) than wired, which is why I went wired. With a reliable wireless network you are unlikely to ever have a problem though.
Was that you who recommended the Vortexbox appliance?
Yes, that was me.
