I understand completely, and I also enjoyed mine. I just think Grace Digital dropped the ball in a big way with their previous customers. And while I certainly enjoyed it, and thought it was a great value, in no way would I claim that 'far more expensive devices do nothing more'. It's easy to hear the difference, but I never had expectations of a $175 streamer being the equivalent of one that cost thousands.
The fact that it is still sold out means they didn't produce enough units. For all either of us knows, that number could have been 100, or 10,000. Over the last several years, I've regularly looked at their website. Often, every product in their line was sold out/unavailable. I never took this as a sign of popularity, but more a sign of a company that was poorly managed. If the sandwich shop is continually out of sandwiches, there's an underlying problem.
