Very helpful, thank you! So if I were to just bite the bullet and buy a SB2, would I get: A) Higher resistance to audio dropouts B) Higher audio quality when streaming Apple Lossless? So does the transcoding process on the SB1 maintain the lossless audio quality or does it downsample? What about the SB2? I'm not concerned with the transcoded file format but I would prefer that it maintains its lossless quality.
