mkozlows, thanks for the link to your review. I really don't know much about the Roku and it's nice to read about first hand experience.

They are a HUGE potential consumer base. Kids nowadays are very much into computers and electronic gadgets. As they start their first jobs, they get disposable income for "toys" like iPods and PDAs and the like. The SB2 would be very easy for them to setup and use. As for the audiophile community, I still think it'll take awhile. While CD sales are declining, there's SACD and DVD-A. And vinyl is still around. For me, the future of CD playback is the SB2. The possibility to store all your CD music in a lossless format on a harddisk for easy and instant access, AND to play it back with audiophile quality is IT. However, audiophiles and audiophile retailers, in general, are very snobbish. I'm thinking along the same lines as JulianL. Put the SB2 in a hi-end looking box, multiply the price several times (which includes significant markup for the retailers), and get a well respected big name in the audiophile world to be associated with your product. Maybe then it'll turn some heads. -- Aylwin _______________________________________________ Discuss mailing list [email protected] http://lists.slimdevices.com/lists/listinfo/discuss
