I agree with you point by point, especially the one that Logitech could have sentenced Sonos to death-by-incompetent-acquisition as easily as it knocked off SB.
The only other thing I'd add in the way of music-only players is the surge of AirPlay enabled equipment. Which could be characterized as mass market manufacturers making stabs at competitively priced players with a host of limitations, which will probably turn out to be good bets for a lot of them. Good financial bets that is -- not anything to do with the audiophile forum. ;-) ------------------------------------------------------------------------ aubuti's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=2074 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=100948 _______________________________________________ audiophiles mailing list audiophiles@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/mailman/listinfo/audiophiles
