I received a Pure I-20 from Amazon today for $89 inc. prime shipping. Peel back the plastic and it looks very well done, uses the XMOS iPod reference design, overkill DAC for iPod quality output, remote, cables, etc. very nice. The unit looks very comparable to Wadia and HRT.
What's the verdict on using these devices as HiFi music servers? I've not yet pulled the trigger on ours and am just wondering whether we can possibly add any value aside from putting something like this in a nicer case with some incremental upgrades.
