Apple people, REJOICE!

People who know me well know I HAXXED my iPod because the shuffle function was crap (and because I had so many FLAC files.)  Once I did that, my iPod became a radio for me.  I also use it for analog testing.  My main complaint has always been that I'm letting that little tiny device, and it's little tiny amp, take control of the quality of my audio files.

HRT has been a favorite of mine for quite a while thanks to their release of their Music Streamer II affordable set of USB DACs, officially welcoming anybody with a soundysystem and a few extra bucks to pipe some SERIOUS SOUNDING TUNES from their PCs.

They didn't stop there.

Now my iPod's little pitiful amp can take a break and let the HRT iStreamer take over.  If this little bitty device has the cleanliness and power of even the lowest of the Music Streamers, the iPod has been validated.  Mommy, I don't think I need CDs anymore...
