As it sure is likely one of the causes of its death in the first place.
(Notice please that I say "one of)."
And, - now that it's dead, NOS is north of $600 on EBAY.
And, the SBT DOES have issues, - a noisy touch screen, crappy power supply, built in DAC.
And finally, one of the areas that the SBT really excels is the area of Internet radio/Internet enabled streaming apps, etc. The quality of all streaming services is shite.
Don't get me wrong, the SBT is a great box, I have 2 and enjoy them immensely: and I'm trying to buy a 3rd for the garage. But don't pretend that it's as good as an optimized PC, or one of the 4 other streamer transports that are coming out. For some folks, lower quality is outweighed by the crazy amounts of other features and "Swiss army knife" aspects of this great little device.
Cheers,

Where people had paid to see inside,
For entertainment they watch his body twist
Behind his eyes he says, 'I still exist.'"
