About the Arcam rWand
What's the most convenient way to play music from your iPod or iPhone through your Arcam rCube or rDac KW? Why, wirelessly of course! The rWand dongle plugs into your player's dock connector, and lets you stream music wirelessly to your Arcam device.
Thanks to Kleer® wireless technology, the rWand delivers a high-quality audio signal with plenty of detail. Although the dongle has a transmission range of up to 30 feet, it uses very little power so you don't have worry about draining your iPod's battery. And you can stream to up to four devices simultaneously.
From the review The Arcam rCube -- portable and powerful
"In my opinion, the big story about the rCube is the rWand. I could keep my player next to me, and listen through the rCube. All of my iPod's controls worked, of course, including volume, which raised the volume of the rCube. And because I had my player with me, I always knew what track was playing and I could quickly pick out a new one."
