In a world of me-too products, NuForce distinguishes itself from all those other components whose names begin with i by actually using a capital <I>I</I>. Actually, that statement is unkind, even unfair&#151;unlike the myriads of products designed to capitalize on the Apple iPod's current sexiness, the NuForce Icon isn't designed to be portable (although NuForce does offer an Icon Mobile). What the Icon unquestionably <I>is</I> is a fine little piece of audio engineering, which most of those other i components are not.
