hype or no hype?

but, why build it? IMHO If you use your Ipod as a main source, you probably won't care about tubes, and if you care about quality sound, you won't use your Ipod as a main source.

You're just plain wrong about this. I know quite a few people who use the iPod as...well, not as their main source, but as a frequent source. And they do care about tubes and sound quality.

That said, this thing is too shiny. I say, "hype".
