It's just way too convenient, and the sound quality is the same. And by now my ears are bad enough that I can't hear the difference between the SB2 into a decent DAC and a Wadia transport anyway. Good for me I guess :-) Of course I still buy CDs, but all I do with them is rip and store in the closet. So they are sort of my backup. If stores like Linn Music had more music I like I'd be buying there a lot more... Having said that, I do think there's still a problem for this to become mainstream. I recently got a Duet for my bedroom, but my wife still prefers just turning on the radio to listen to PBS, even though it's in the Favorites on the Duet. But it's still too techie I guess. And then sometimes it doesn't quite work, or it takes a while to "connect to Squeezenetwork", or things like that. It's still not as easy as turning on that radio. I can deal with that, because I just think it's cool. But most people can't... Yet...
