I think using a laptop can be more convenient. With the iPod you basically have to keep it in the dock cradle. Whic is a PITA when you want to change albums or titles. With a laptop you can use iTunes, get an iTouch, use the router, download the iTunes app on the iTouch and have total control of your library wirelessly. Once implemented it's basically set and forget. I use the Cary Xciter DAC.
Ipod Server-Why not?
I ripped my CD's Apple lossless and play thru my Krell Kid dock. I have shuffle, playlists, etc at my finger tips even a remote control I even prefer the sound (balanced out into Cary SLP03 tube pre and Spectron amp) vs my Rotel RCD 1520 cd player and Oppo 83SE.
I have been looking a computer audio wondering what I would gain by going that way? I have been considering the Mach2Server probably with a Rega DAC. I could try the Wadia dock/Rega DAC combo vs the Krell but wonder if the computer server would offer sound advantages I am not getting now? FLAC?
I dont really care for using the computer in my sound room.
