In a word, YES!!! When you say "adapter", I think you mean fm transmitter, etc. It still requires an "adapter" cable, but direct connection. I did a lot of research before choosing my Alpine CDA-9857 unit. From what I've seen heard/otherwise, you can't do better than Alpine's interface. Paid ~$285.00 for my CDA-9857. If you can live without the pretty graphics/ss type stuff, the CDA-9856 is around $100 less.
I LOVE mine. I have an Ipod Nano 1gb that I regularly load up and never listen to cd's/radio. REALLY, some people say there's a difference, I don't notice in my dodge ram w/ headers and flowmasters. (maybe the background noise :) )
Definitely MUCH better that radio broadcast and, like I said, I can't tell the diff from digital media...
