Aren't you making a very big assumption that the AppleTV won't sound
good? It has a digital output, so I would say that plugged into the
same DAC as a SB, most of us would be hard pushed to tell the
difference. Plus, it is far more convenient to use for most people.
Apart from that, I don't hear too many people complaining about the
sound quality of their iPods - they are used at HiFi shows for example
as music sources. Why would the AppleTV be inferior? It might be, but
it's not a safe assumption at this stage.

Logitech didn't acquire Slim to let them carry out catering to the
technically minded, they'll want to move into the same market that
Apple addresses. The AppleTV addresses the larger market far better
than Slim or Sonus at this stage.
