I believe Logitech has sufficiently widened the low end of the product line with some compelling hardware in the Duet and Boom. So what's next?
Undercutting the Transporter with a product that has a lot more mass appeal. It's a matter of sales volume. If Logitech can sell a million SB4 units, they won't care that it cuts into the relatively small Transporter market. The SB3 is a very sweet product, but it could use a few incremental improvements. Hi-res music is becoming more mainstream; Logitech needs a mainstream player that can handle 24/96 files. And I have to believe there's a better DAC available for a player with a ~$500/$600 pricepoint. Maybe a component-sized case and a better power supply could be incorporated in an updated design. There's always room for improvement, and Slim/Logitech has always listened to its customers. The SB4 wouldn't have to be better than the Transporter, just better than the SB3. Slim/Logitech has made a brilliant product for $230. What can they build into a product selling for twice that price? -- Pale Blue Ego ------------------------------------------------------------------------ Pale Blue Ego's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=110 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=52983 _______________________________________________ discuss mailing list [email protected] http://lists.slimdevices.com/lists/listinfo/discuss
