pure ipod dock

Mine came today. Coax digital output works very well. There's even a remote. Basic RCA cables are supplied.

Note for Canucks: delivery is via UPS. "Tax" amount applied at purchase, plus more at the door, brings total cost to slightly under $140.

How do you order one of these things in NA?

Hotmailjbc, the Pure online shop won't let me order for shipping to any country outside the UK. Their store finder won't do any other country than the UK, Germany or Switzerland. So, Coffee2, how do I order one for a North American address ? Do I have to email a British retail store ?

OK, I found an answer to my question, it can be ordered online from Amazon UK. Shipping is not cheap.

The PURE i-20 has several outputs: analog stereo from its internal DAC, digital coax, digital optical and component video. The most interesting one is the digital coax because it allows you to set up a high-quality connection with an external DAC. It bypasses the iPod's internal converter and headphone amp and delivers a signal that sounds just as good to me as my best Redbook transport's.

Of course the Wadia unit has been able to do this for a while now, but at a higher price. There is news of a Cambridge Audio dock with a digital output as well.

The i-20's internal DAC's output is not as high-quality as the coax digital output but it is respectable enough, sounding at least as good to my ears as an Oppo 970 player.

Badwisdom, it's not only the latest generation. My iPod Touch is the last generation ( the third ) and the i-20's volume control function works with it.
