Have a listen to the B&O iPod dock beosound 8. It's really pretty superb, although it does cost £900 or thereabouts. It's the only dock I've heard which genuinely impressed me from a sonic point of view.

[soundesign]

At 900 quid it had better be impressive.

[Mylesh]

Try the B&W Zeppelin.

Sounds superb. I've listened to loads of iPod docks and as of yet find most of them to be rubbish beyond belief...

[AlfonWeeks]

I simply connect mine directly to my Onkyo receiver, sounds superb.

I read a recent review that stated that while they sounded good, there were better and cheaper IPOD docks biting at its heals now.

I bought a sony ipod dock for my mother at Christmas.
I was sceptical about the quality before buying, as i frequently use a bose soundock II, but honestly, that little sony worked out very well at about £80.
I'd know the difference between the two, but I wouldn't pay it.

It has DAB and alarms and what not too.

I'll find the model number, if you like.

If you could I would be grateful.

Sorry for the late reply. I don't hang about here much.

It was a SONY XDRDS12IP.

Two things that annoy me about it.

Dab aerial is just a little wire instead of a proper aerial,
and the power cable is hardwired.

There's a 3 pin connector behind a little panel on the rear.

For convenience I hardwired a little DC jack to mine and bought a few adapters for different rooms.
There wasn't room to mount the connector in the casing, so it's just trailing on an inch of wire.
Big shame, but you might not care.

+ points.
Memory holds when unplugged.
10 DAB + analog presets
Charges ipod/iphone3g; Haven't tried a 4s.
Sounds great.

[AlfonWeeks]

Thank you. Will check it out.

I really believe that all consumer electronics should have removable mains leads.

Don't know if it is small enough but I really like this unit:

The iP1 looks gorgeous. I wonder if there is any way to connect the iPAD to it?

It does have a line input on the back.

If that doesn't work for ya, there is always this one.
