msb Ilink vs. wadia 170i ipd docks
That's good to know. I've been considering getting the MSB iLink. However, once the iPod has been modified, will it only work with the MSB unit? Currently I listen to my iPod connected via a dock connector from ALO, to a Ray Samuels Audio Predator... 
Rowland Capri vs. the ynergy IIi
I owned a Synergy IIi for many years. It's a fabulous preamp. I traded it in to get the Ayre KX-R preamp, as I have several other Ayre components. The Capri is not a better preamp. 
EMM labs DAC2 can be used with Apple?
Will the quality as good as using the EMM Labs transport? Good lord, I hope not, or I'm going to be really annoyed. I own both pieces. 
God this is overkill
Not laughing here either. I run Toslink (Audioquest) out of my desktop Mac into a Benchmark DAC1, then Audioquest Sky interconnects, then to a pair of Bang & Olufsen BeoLab 3 speakers & and a BeoLab 2 subwoofer. Awesome sound. 
Best looking Amp/Preamp/Integrated?
IMHO, Jeff Rowland products are nice eye-candy. However, right now I'm partial to Ayre products - I own the MX-R monoblocks and just got the KX-R preamp. Not too hard to look at. 
EMM Labs DAC2
I just purchased the new DAC2 and TSD1 transport. Prior to that, I was using the CDSA. I must say that there is definitely an improvement in sound quality. It wasn't subtle.
