The new Cambridge Audio ID100 is the perfect solution for those who want to extract the best sound possible from an Ipod, Iphone or Ipad. The Cambridge audio ID 100 features balanced, digital coax and optical outputs. Unlike most Ipod docks the ID 100 extracts the pure digital data from the Ipod rather than having the Ipod converting the signal. All you have to do is hook it up to the Cambridge DAC magic or your DAC of choice to provide an excellent source to your existing home stereo audio or Home theatre system.
