Onkyo has introduced the DS-A5 iPod/iPhone/iPad Docking station, which adds AirPlay wireless streaming capabilities to Onkyo A/V receivers and many other audio products.

The Onkyo DS-A5 allows owners of recent Onkyo A/V receivers — as well as older models lacking a USB port or an Ethernet connection — to receive content via AirPlay (wireless streaming for iOS devices) from a dock that is Wi-Fi and has an Ethernet port.

When the device is docked, a digital audio output can be connected to any receiver’s all-digital DAC input (it also has L and R analog stereo audio outputs as well). When the DS-A5 is linked to an Onkyo A/V or stereo receiver via the supplied RI (Remote Interactive) cable, the user may power up the system simply by selecting content on his iOS device and tapping the AirPlay icon. RI has the added advantage of incorporating DS-A5 functionality into the main system remote controller.

Here are all the specs of the $199 DS-A5.
