 The iStreamer is HRT's newest product. It is a DAC designed to work with the iPod, iPod Touch, or iPhone. 
 
Here's the box
 

 

 
The first thing that will greet you upon opening the box is this

Can you tell what's missing?
 
Here's a hint
 

 
That's a pretty standard AC connector. I've got a drawer full of 'em. Fortunately, if you look in the corner of the white box you will find an AC connector. The iStreamer needs to get power from somewhere, and the iPod doesn't have sufficient power to run the iStreamer, so you need to connect an additional cable for AC power. 
 
Here's a shot with the two necessary cables plugged into the iStreamer
 

 
Here's one last shot showing the iStreamer and the AC power unit. THe unit can also charge your iPod or anyother device that gets power via a USB cable. Nice.
