If you want unique design it's going to cost money, there is nothing strange about that and BO has always been focused at producing devices with unique design. With BO you primarily pay for the unique design and probably the price makes it possible for them to base it on high quality components.

Yes, the Sonos Connect (Zoneplayer90) has digital outputs. But wouldn't I also need one of their Bridge devices since they seem to use a proprietary version of the 801.11.g/n networking protocol? A Zoneplayer will not just connect to an existing wireless network, will it? The Vortexbox

Thanks for the feedback. Yea, my music server is in a completely different area of the house than the SB3 that just died. Wireless to that room is the only option unless I want to engage in major wall de-construction to run cabling - which I do not. :) It's too bad AppleTV will not connect to
