I agree that polish will be increasingly important. Sonos is ahead but I'm sure that SlimDevices/Logitech has something in development. Hurry up! --- The Sonos remote uses too much screen real estate on eye candy for my tastes but it seems light years ahead of the SB's 2 line display and its 10 key pad remote. ---- I've seen the Sonos units in a stand-alone Magnolia Hi-Fi and a an independent High-end audio store. In neither case had the store staff set the system up to give a useful demo. They didn't know much about Sonos either. I've heard that Sonos is doing well with home entertainment custom installers. I suspect that in many of their installations, they rip the customer's CD collection as part of the deal. I think that distribution channel might be more important than traditional Hi-Fi stores.
