Don’t be fooled: What you see is not an iPod dock. Although it looks like yet another glammed-up piece of audiophile-look-alike gear, just like the ones that bait iPod addicts with shiny tube amps, the Chord Indigo is something entirely different. And something true audiophiles might not be ashamed to actually own.
Chord calls it a digital audio control center, which basically means it handles just about every type of digital input imaginable, and uses it own high-fidelity DAC (digital-to-audio converter) to pump out the analog signals an amp needs. Optical, USB, Bluetooth or iPod, this device will handle it, and spin the bits and bytes it receives into high-quality audio via an integrated Pulse Array DAC.
