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.
