Am not sure why you are wanting to make comparisons to CD, DVD, PC and Squeezebox..........the whole point of the i20 is that it pulls a digital signal from an IPOD for $99.

I cannot say if the PURE DAC is better than the Cambridge DACMagic as I haven't been able to compare. However, after I receive a second PURE dock I will evaluate and maybe the DM will be out the door too!

Yes, somewhere way back in this thread or another, someone mentioned it. Let me dig it up in my PM inbox.
Okay, here is what the HFer sent me via PM, but I have yet to act on it:
Any good electrical or computer store will have a regulated power supply. As long as u tell them it needs to be regulated and matches the same specs as the original wall wart e.g 7.5v etc.
He said it improves the i-20 performance. I am going to try and find one myself.

I own all of these. I think the best sounding is the SBT>VDAC>AMP. IMHO the i20 is a good value. I do have to say that it works with the iPhone but streaming or not there is some background interference. Plenty acceptable levels for something that cost $99.
So you can hear distortion going on in the i-20 or is it due to the Iphone being in the equation?
I think quite a few people will be interested in your impressions, myself included. Just to be clear, you're going to test the iPod->Pure->amp->headphones VERSUS iPod->Pure (bypass Pure DAC)->DACmagic->amp->headphones, right?
I have the Pure and an amp, but I'm thinking that a decent DAC in between the two will REALLY help the sound.
