Did you think that perhaps they're just using it for an amp section, and put it through a lappy when they require a dac.
Besides there's three of the things there, so id assume it done more for review purposes.
Also some folk might not be keen on the wolfson dac, and want a sound more to their tastes. Folk do buy different amps for different music, plus they just like new toys anyway.
I think there are some people working on getting an i2s feed from an iPod, once this is achieved then you should be able to hook up whatever DAC you like (in theory) but this is easier said than done...
