Does the P800-PRS have iPod compatibility?

On the Pioneer product page for the headunit under specs it says that an adapter is required.

iPod Control Capability Adapter (CD-IB100II required)

It's cool that they added a USB input. Kind of annoying that headunits still require an adapter for iPods, since everybody has them. Copper plated chassis? What's the purpose of this? I love my P880PRS.

I'm guessing the headunit doesn't support DTS or DD decoding for 5.1? No DVD-A or SACD support? The price is pretty good considering the amount of sound-massaging it does for your car's enviornment!
