Hi
It's a matter of preferences,I have one and I love it.I was a late buyer I only bought it last year and have been using it the last few months.Mine is hooked up to an older DAC I had in the closet,the Stax Talent.I use the classic ipod 120gb with it and is set up in my second system in the family room in my basement and only use it for casual listening with my family when we cook ,entertain, or just relax and for that purpose the quality of the sound is exceptional.I also use the Apple TV 160GB which can do what the ipod/wadia can do except one thing the ability to take it to the car.But what I particularly love with the Wadia/ipod solution is the freedom to take my tunes, in my ipod ,with me to the car or back from the car into the house.Just dock or un-dock the ipod.I only have mp3 and apple lossless formats.Recently I discovered a website to free download some very good Greek tunes from the 60's and 70's and 80's that me and my wife love to listen too.Old forgotten songs that would be hard to find.For formal listening I still use a cd transport on my main system up in the attic.I hear good things about the Logitech touch but I haven't use it and again it is a home based system and as I mentioned earlier the ipod goes in the car with me.
I would recommend the Wadia 170i.
Regards
George
