Wadia 170i alternatives?? Onkyo and others??

Are there any other manufacturers of iPod docks with digital output like the Wadia 170i??? I know there is an Onkyo NS-D1 model but it does not appear to be available in the USA.

In regard to the Onkyo, has anyone seen, heard or purchased one?? Is the voltage adjustable to fit USA requirements or do you need a step-down/up transformer??

I have never seen a used Onkyo on this or any other site in spite of the fact that it is significantly cheaper than the Wadia.

Thx

the Apple TV would not be an option for me ... main use of the dock will be for my daughter and her friends to use when they are over and want to listen to music from various iPods

thx for the suggestion though!

if your daughter is like most younger people i would suspect any dock with some rcas out would never be heavily scrutinized as we audiophiles tend to do.

her and her friends are definitely NOT audiophiles, but my amp only has digital inputs (no analog) so the Wadia, Onkyo and Cambridge items are the only ones that have digital output from an iPod
