Nah. Just a fancy iPod dock.
Why don't we just plug our iPods into the receiver directly?

The Onkyo takes the sound processing away from the iPod and uses it's own DACS, which would be of a higher quality than that found in the iPod. Alpine do the same thing with their iDA units for the in-car market.
Not all iPod docks will do this, it actually extracts the digital signal and I believe it has to pay Apple for the software to do this.

Meh. I don't do anything Apple-related, so I wouldn't know. Either way, you end up with a 128kbps file being exported to speakers-->shit sound.
So to answer your question, no, I would not buy it.

Its just a transport. You will still need a quality DAC to convert digital to analog. I you really need/want a transport then this would be my recommendation if you can afford it ofc: http://www.logitech.com/index.cfm/speak … p;cl=us,en
