Yes, a NAS could have problems decoding FLAC + encoding MP3 fast
enough.

Not seems like, the SB2 internals are basically exactly the same as the
SB3/Classic. The only difference is the connector arrangement and how
the screen is connected to fit the upright case and the wireless
antennas. The important hardware is the same.
The SB1 is also a 'B' only device so this
In addition to the differences already noted, the SB1 also doesn't do
gapless mp3 playback, I don't believe (mine has been sitting in a
