It has much more powerfull cpu than radio and a very good dac and digital out. The 24bit 96kHz capacity is also nice :) not many streaming device from anyone ? has this especially at this price ? So sound vise it's well worth the money . I think that's the more powerfull CPU is mostly for running it's local squeezboxserver if you attach a harddrive to it . That must contribute some. Radios price point is low considering that it's probably the same screen and a little more cpu than the controller and it is cheaper than the controller. But pricing is also tied to what kind of custommer you expect for a product. Radio is not the cheapest product in it's market niche so it can not be more expensive than it is. So it is radio that is cheap, it competes where there is many products and people expect them to be cheap. A Touch buyer is maybe not as price sensitive as Radio buyer. And manufacturing cost are very cheap today (made in china), probably not as significant for the end price as many believes it's peanuts basically. All other cost associated around developing marketing and selling and distribute the product is probably a lot more than bom (bill of manufacturing ) price from the factory when you order pallet loads off them. Setting a price is most down to guess how usefull the byer thinks it is for that price. If you have a product that customer find very usefull and good and worth having you can charge more , again not much to do with parts costs. I seriusly wonder if it cost more or less than 10% off it's price to manufacture it. -- Mnyb -------------------------------------------------------------------- Main hifi: Touch + CIA PS +MeridianG68J MeridianHD621 MeridianG98DH and assorted amps SiriuS, Classe' Primare and Dynadio speakers, Contour 4 Contour Center, and Contour 1.3SE rear ch.
