FWIW. I do not use a Wadia with my Meridian set up. I did, however, pick one up for my girlfriend who has a modest two-channel system with Rotel and B&W 600 series speakers. Since she has a two-channel receiver I had to get an external DAC as well. So the combination is the Wadia with a Musical Fidelity A-DAC. I was shocked at how good it sounds.

The only drawback I can see is that there is no way to access the iPod menus remotely. All you can do with the remote is jump forward or backward one track, play or pause. You have to get up and go to the iPod for all other operations.

As far as I know the Wadia is the only docking station on the market that bypasses the iPod's crappy DACs.

It really sounds terrific but perhaps it goes without saying that you should make sure that you do the connections with quality cable.
