I've been happy with the www.slimdevices.com squeezebox.  I do not store 
with a lossless format though.  There should be no difference to the 
equipment between lossless and the original cd.  You can expect a lossless

format to probably take about half the space of the original cd.  You
might 
want to experiment with the lossy formats a bit to see if you can really 
detect the difference.
