This doesn't answer your question. But perhaps it gives some background. Why does some CD-players cost 5000$ ? My experience is that the sound quality offered by the SB is much better than all software player based solutions. Of course you'd need a high-end soundcard for that, and those do not come cheap. Anyway some of the selling point of the SB is that it gives a fairly good sound quality, among other things due to its quality dac. I guess my point is that if one compares to what the SB is aiming at replacing, the price is not bad.
Of course I'd love for the SB to be cheaper. But if this means too much compromising on components, I'd prefer the current price. In my setup the SB takes the place of my Arcam CD player. And although the sound quality can not quite cut it compared to the Arcam, its not THAT far away. Given that the Arcam costs significantly more, I think the price of the SB is competitive in comparison. Just my thoughts.
