"Beefed up" means a complete reworking of the SB design. The current hardware platform is nearly maxed out with only the SB firmware.

Bundling a NAS? Maybe you missed the SB3 (now SB Classic) + Infrant NAS special deal that was running for a year or so. My impression was that it actually didn't go so well. My intention isn't to say "it can't be done" or to throw cold water on the ideas, but rather just to point out that these ideas have been discussed and debated to death in these forums, at least for the 3+ years I have been on them. On the other hand, all of the recent products that SD/Logi has introduced (SB Receiver, SB Controller, Boom) have been foreshadowed by similar requests/debates etc. on the forums..... -- aubuti Nothing high-end, but music anywhere I want it.
