Not really, it's a common comment I have seen to the question of an
audiophile SB - is there a market big enough for it?

There are and will be more players in this space (and some big ones
coming - Apple), so, being selfish, I would like to see SD evolve to
the high end as it suits its current dedicated audience more. Quite a
few users are already migrating up to modded versions, including me,
and to be honest I don't need the DAC part of the SB, just the decoder,
interface and radio parts. 

The underlying question is one of economics, is it worth SD's while to
produce a transport with new power supply (go on, I know SD isn't
convinced about this, but it does make a difference :-)) and no
DAC/Analogue out, just digital? 

Or how about a stripped down SB3, with no DAC, just digital out? How
cheap would that be to do, is it a case of just not populating those
parts of the board and not testing them either in the QA stage?
