For me there are three main things about the SB3 that justify the cost: 1 - Sound quality; a FLAC CD from my NAS is exactly the same quality on my stero as playing the CD mid-priced Hi-Fi CD player.
2 - The accessibility of my music; not just being lazy and getting a CD out the drawer but hearing one tune and thinking of another then finding it instantly on the SqueezeCenter rather than emptying every CD to find it. 3 - The VFD Display; even when I am not listening to music the SB3 has a beautiful display which is very clear (even with my eye-site) and I can display time, weather ot integrate it into my HA system -- Paul_B Paul ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Slimcentre 7.0A1 on EPIA VIA EN15000 Mini-ITX running Windows 2003 R2 (SP2).
