True digital iPod dock
MSB Technology today unveiled a new iPod dock which will officially debut at the CES trade show in Las Vegas next month. The MSB iLink is the first docking station for iPod to offer true digital output, according to the company, by slightly altering the internals of the iPod to bypass the 24-bit DAC when attached to the docking station. All other aspects of normal iPod usage remain unchanged, charging the portable player while docked. The device also includes an RF transmitter that attaches to the iPod, allowing it to be carried around the room while maintaining a link with the dock. The MSB iLink will ship for $2,000, offering compatibility with 30GB and 80GB iPods.

$2,000???
There are people who would spend 2K on an iPod accessory? I guess I don't grasp the importance or "true digital output"
