If you go back and re-read discussions pertaining to many attempts to
improve SBT, you will see that, overall, Logitech engineers/designers
etc. seem to be firmly standing the ground that such a thing is a
pathetic pipe dream. In other words, according to the Logitech
marketing, it is not theoretically possible to improve upon the sound
quality of Logitech Squeezebox Touch.

The grassroots community that is not beholden by the vendor's agenda
appears to think differently. Guys like Soundcheck claim that there is
room for improvement, and he had been working tirelessly on providing
some positive modifications to the vanilla SBT. His efforts have been
met with enormous, almost hysterical resistance by the vendor, which
begs the question: why?

Of course, the stock answer is that the vendor claims that guys like
Soundcheck are pulling the wool over the unsuspecting audio community's
eyes, and in behaving like that, he is doing a huge disservice to all
naive, uninstructed audiophiles. Sounds like a very noble stance, even
grandstanding, if you ask me.

But is that really the whole story? Why would the vendor be so much
against the possibility of improving its already quite popular product?
