The Wadia is a interesting idea, and the first to bypass the iPod internal DAC. At almost $400.00 it seems kind of steep for a docking platform, but it is very well built by a notable company and has a certain "Apple" elegance to it. It seems to me that a better alternative is the Apple TV which gets you the same thing without the iPod and more.Also, I have to think that after the Wadia there will be many others to follow that will be much less expensive and possibly fuller featured.
Not sure if I get the point of the Wadia iPod dock
Surely you must already have the stored songs in iTunes. Why not just get a DAC that will allow you to do the same thing but with ALL of your music not just what you can fit on the iPod. Is this for people who just don't want to mix computers and their systems? I don't get it.
