Apple AirPort Express
$99.00
Released March, 2008
The Pros:Analog and optical audio outputs. Music streaming is nice added feature. Compact size for portability.
The Cons:Only streams music from iTunes. Can only adjust settings with the AirPort Admin Utility. Which runs only on Windows XP at least SP2, Windows Vista, and on the Mac (I am not sure which version). Expensive, but hey you probably bought a mac with this too.

Erik:
#apple_airport_express I wish I could vote up the "Only streams music from iTunes" 10 times. Apple's proprietary game is very annoying. What if I want to stream Internet radio to my stereo? Apple says no. What about if I want to use Winamp instead of iTunes? Apple says no.
