It's not that I'm unwilling to wait--it's really more of a financial decision. I'm not much of an audiofile, and paying $70 for the installation, plus another $150 to $500 for an amp, on top of the cost of the player itself, is just not something I want to do. I didn't realize that I'd need a separate amp... This player is great for someone who already has a nice audio system with an amplifier installed, and even better for someone who's willing to install the unit him/herself.

BTW, I can just return it to sonicblue.com and get my money back. Only then it will probably disappear forever and noone will get to have it, and I'd rather find a good home for it...
