I half way agree with you. I think the SBC makes a good playback device as long as you are using a set of powered speakers or less in quality. In other words. there's not much difference between listening to an SBC or a SBR over a set of powered speakers. Since that's all I have down stairs where I workout, I find the SBC perfect for there. I've moved the SBR to other places. Of course I also use the SBC when walking the dog, etc.. I don't have any issue with reliability of the SBC or sound quality through powered speakers or ear buds/head phones. Ever since using SC 7.3 beta I have always noted the stable updates and related SBC firmware so that if a stinker comes out I can fall back. Back to the point though, anywwhere where I might use a less expensive audio set up, I wouldn't hesitate to use a docking device and the SBC. The garage, basement or in the back yard are ideal for me.
