I'd go for a recent ipod touch ideally the last modem with 32 pin connector but if you end up with a newer one with lightning connector you will then need the ruark adapter AND the Apple 32 pin to lightning adapter. You definitely should use the iPod dock rather than iThingy headphone out to line in. If you use the dock the Ruark DAC is used. If you use headphone then it's the iPod DAC in play. If you are not storing any music on the iPod then an 8 or 16gb one will do.
