More and more audiophile companies start paying attention to ipod.

And another option -

I guess more options are good, but on the second thought.. I guess getting a used Macbook, and using it as a dedicated music server is better?

Well, the benefit of the new products is that you don't need to mess with a computer which would be great for my dad.

I already manage an iPod for business trips, and purchasing a digital dock for it makes more sense than managing two systems - iPod + Sonos, or iPod + Squeezebox, I will always need an iPod for business travel. The Wadia does come with a remote to control the iPod when docked.
Converting to iPod touch + MAC mini is attractive, but I would have to set up iTunes in two user modes - 8GB iPod touch vs. 160GB iPod classic. Too complicated.
Peachtree is coming out with a new integrated that has a digital iPod dock - the iDecco. Tubed pre-amp, only 40 wpc tho - $999.
I always used iPod, how i can say?
They are improving more the features of it, great sound, compatibility (pc and mac) many people and companies are making accesories for it.

Ipod is really great for portability I can move it room to room and instantly have thousands of songs, fairly good quality sounds for background music.

It's popular. I guess Audiophile companies are trying to take advantage of it.
I will be checking out the KID at my Krell dealer soon. I havent found too many reviews online so far. I have been doing more with my ipod and its hard to beat for storage and portability.
