iPod docking station - Belkin vs Wadia vs Arcam

The Wadia unit does not require a DAC. If you want to get the best you would use a DAC with it, but it has analog outputs.

I hope you guys that know will add to the thread because I would love to add a good dock. It seems the market is just a bit too new. For everyday listening, I just patch the ipod out to aux in. I'm good for 6 hours or more depending on the play list. I don't expect the dock to replace a turntable or cd player. Music direct has a Wadia, dac and cable combo that looks interesting. After hundreds of hours of use, Costco can sell me a new ipod for less than the repair bill of anybodys Music server. Am I on the right track here?

If you're going to use the DAC in the ipod why even waste your time.
