Well the SB1 has a tiny buffer, so, yes, if there are interference
problems on a wireless network, or large cpu/disk spikes on the machine
running SC, the SB1 would be much more likely to 'stall' than a later
model with more memory devoted to buffering.

Not really a sync issue, though: those sorts of dropouts would be more
likely on an SB1 even if it was the sole player.
