I'd have to agree that the SB ecosystem isn't for *everyone*. But trying
to identify that cut-off point is a bit tricky.

One simple test might be if you never have problems attaching a file to
an email; ie you understand the concept of directory structures, and how
files end up in different places on your computer. If you totally get
this, and you're happy to do the occasional bit of googling when
computery things go wrong, I'd say a basic SB setup is well within your
capabilities.

Given that the OP mentions NASs and FLAC, I think he/she is comfortably
in the target demographic ;)

OTOH, mysterious intermittent networking problems could probably break
the spirit of Alan Turing himself. But I think it's a bit unfair to
single the SB out in this regard; it applies (almost) equally to all
home wifi, wireless printing, etc. Some (few?) people just seem to be
unlucky and get plagued with networking badness; if you've already
decided you want *some* type of streaming audio system, you're going to
be in the network lottery regardless, and I don't think the 'SB vs
something else' angle is massively relevant to your outcome. It'll
probably be fine ;)
