Best integrated for SF Guarneri Homage?
Thanks all for your comments so far, here are my responses to some of your notes above:i) I have all SIltech wires from AC to speakers (G5 level mostly) will take a look at Yter thou (never heard of them before)ii) Budget is not an issue really - ... 
Sonus Faber Guarneri vs Guarneri Memento
I have a pair of Guarneri's original for trial and compare with my AG UNO speakers - a whole different animal.I can live with either of the two speakers, the AGs are explosive, detailed and very dynamic, the SF are relaxed, coherent and very music... 
msb Ilink vs. wadia 170i ipd docks
That should work Jorge - The Wadia route is critical in the DAC selection, but I must say that I am not familiar with the Cambridge unit. 
Krell KID vs. Wadia i170.
As important as a DAC is in the chain thru the Wadia 170i, the coax cable election is also critical - I ended up spending more in this part than in the Wadia, but it paid for itself.The custom coaxial cable that comes with the Wadia unit is crap, ... 
Is There any Truly "High End" Integrated Amp?
I have had quite a few integrateds, currently getting great results with an Acoustic Plan Sitar that replaced an Audio Note Meishu (also a great SET option).The Gryphon line is great (I owned a Tabu, Century and a Callisto) and a Jadis DA60 Signat... 
Is there any mini-jack converter for the Mac Mini
Wow - A lot of good options - thanks for the replies!I am using a Wadia 170i for my iPOD with outstanding results (I sold my Reimyo CDP777 and now using a Reimyo DA with the Wadia) but the poor user interface on the Wadia forces me to consider a M... 
Help Best 5-disc cd-changer...........
I changed my Reimyo cdp777 - considered one of the best CDP for the Wadia 170i and a Reimyo DAC, it is that good. 
The best speaker you ever heard?

Get an iPOD with a Wadia 170i dock - you will get ALL your music in one place.Take care 
How do YOU organize your iTunes library?
I have around 500 CDs of WAV encoded music and trasfer 4 and 5 stars pre-ranked titles to my iPOD. (I use a Wadia 170i as a transport).Besides the standard search capabilities of iTunes, the star ranking serves me as a fllter to just transfer the ... 
msb Ilink vs. wadia 170i ipd docks
1,- AFAIK the MSB is an ADAC (it is fed passing thru the iPOD's DAC - such as Krell's KID) - not good. The Wadia should be better IF you connect it thru its coaxial digital OUT connector to a good DAC.2,- The Benchmark is a good DAC for the money,... 
Krell KID vs. Wadia i170.
I just found a review for the Bose soundock, not the Wadia one - but in my search I found some other reviews (all positive) atother UK magazines. 
Jota Monoblocs drive Kharma 3.2fe?
Good luck - let us know once they are in. 
Krell KID vs. Wadia i170.
I just added a Siltech digital cable to the Wadia/Reimyo set-up - just great! - the CDP777 is gone... 
Which Solid State Amplifier is Making you Happy?
I should add now the Acoustic Plan Sitar Integrated amp, it is not a pure SS design but keeps the benefit of both topologies. Very nice indeed.
