What's great about it: Build quality, design, value, amazing sound improvement over iphone's built in dac. Charges iphone.
For those of us who use our iphones as our primary music source at work/the office, this iphone friendly dac is a must have upgrade for superior sound quality in a desktop/near field application, especially if used as a preamp for mid-higher end computer/desktop stereo systems. I use this as my primary stereo music source along with my miniwatt n3 tube amp and axiom m3 bookshelf speakers. The combo is oustanding and provides for an audiophile on a budget music experience at the office. The build quality of the icon ido is superb, and the included silicon stand is attractive and helps to minimize footprint on the desk where space may be an issue. My coworkers immediately noticed the sweet sounding (and looking) nuforce product. Detail is much enhanced, and the clarity/imaging is unreal making for an almost live music experience. I may use the coaxial output on the ido in the future to add a small subwoofer. Then it would be perfect.
I would recommend this to a friend!

What's great about it: Sound enhancement
The iDo is a stationary device for extracting higher sound quality from the iPod. The iDo plugs into the bottom of the iPod or iPad to bypass their internal Digital Analog Converters (DAC). This gives the iPod the chance to send music digitally at its best quality possible and then have it converted by the much higher quality DAC inside the iDo. I have a set up next to my bed with my iPod, iDo, and headphones. I use either Skull Candy headphones or NuForce NE-700x earphones. The NuForce earphones are higher quality but the headphones are more comfortable, depending on the situation. The iDo introduced me to a completely new musical experience. The way that the music can be played at louder volumes and still keep the quality of each individual instrument in the song was amazing. I feel like I ruined regular music listening for me because so far nothing can compare to the quality of my bedside set up. My car radio now makes me feel less satisfied, so while I listen I mentally take notes on what songs I'm going to replay through my iPod when I get home.
I would recommend this to a friend!
