Bryston BDP-1, SqueezeBox Touch

I've noticed several glowing reviews in the audio magazines lately on the Bryston BDP-1.  While it looks like a fine device, I'm not clear what advantages it has over the much less expensive SqueezeBox Touch to justify the significantly higher price?  The Touch is $299USD and the BDP-1 is $2150USD.


The Bryston clearly has superior build quality and will handle higher sample rates up to 24/192 vs. only 24/96 for the Touch.  But with it's nice touch screen, analog outputs for casual listening, etc. the Touch has it's advantages as well.


The end result for both is bit-perfect output.


Thoughts?

There's the rational response of "Holy crap! 1/10th the price and more features!" or the audiophile response, "Expensive, idiotically overbuilt chassis, elite brand and esoteric sample rates, mmm...."

Seriously now.
