I agree - I suspect SB is a product just too clever for the high
street. Try describing what it does beyond stream music to someone who

I agree.
The simple solution to this problem is to sell a SD NAS with

Don't think the better argument works, remember vhs vs. betamax? And
I know SB is better than Roku, but that's because I'm into this
stuff. iPods aren't the best in sound quality, but they're number one
anyway!
I'm just afraid people
Actually most of the comments from the general public seem to bypass
even the Roku...
Why doesn't it play video?
No one seems interested in audio-only devices.

Present company excluded of course.
Let the others have their one box solution, network

This has been discussed quite a bit, but in summary (SB3 vs M1001):
Yes, the DAC is much better quality in the SB3. It also doesn't
resample everything to 48kHz like the Roku.
Roku screen is 280x16, SB3 is 320x32.
Roku RAM is 16mb, SB3 is 64MB (more memory == less skipping)
Roku only does
I posted links to some tests before... you can search for them under my
posts. The roku doesn't come near their claimed specs in the test. We
on the other hand do.

1) Remove TV/etc from listening area.
2) Determine mass of listener
3) Measure butt imprint on the couch.
4) After various intervals, re-measure butt imprint.
The deepest butt imprint wins.

Hopefully sales in Aus will go up.

It was sitting right next to the Roku Soundbridge and the Roku radio.
My prediction was a cheaper SB for the retail outlets. It
