I take the optical out of my SB3 into a Bryston preamp/processor, which has quite a decent DAC in it already. I never use the other outs. Most audiophiles who care about DACs already have bought their favorite in one form or another, for use with other audio sources; why put an exotic one in the SB3 that ONLY the SB3 would be able to use?
I've have been overjoyed to go the other way: $100 less for no analog outputs, only digital ones. Or $100 more for only digital out and guaranteed, extremely low jitter, to rival the very best reclocked sources. And yes, a bigger display would be nifty. Imagine a wall-mounted SuperBox, with a display, say, 18"x18", capable of being read across a room, putting up titles, lyrics, and medium resolution album art. And, of course, the browse menus.
