Hi everyone,

I do most of my listening at work and have the following setup ready to receive a digital signal:

iPod Classic 120
[...missing link...Pure i-20...]
AMB Gamma2 Full++ DAC
o2 Amp

Having the remote that comes with the Pure i-20 would be a nice bonus (assuming it works well), I'm just wondering what other options I have as far as getting a digital signal to my DAC. I'd like to get away from Apple products and buying a new Pure i-20 is taking a step in the wrong direction...

Assuming I sell my iPod for ~$130 and have the $100 I would have spent on the i-20, what would you do with $200-$300 to accomplish this? Are there devices like the Pure i-20 that would work with non-Apple mp3 players? My DAC accepts USB and coax/optical s/pdif signals.

Thanks for your help!

EDIT:
For those not familiar with the Pure i-20, here it is: http://www.pure.com/products/product.asp?Product=VL-61429
It has coax/optical s/pdif outputs as well as an analog output
