Average Reviews:
(More customer reviews)This product does what it claims: It turns my iPod into a top-quality stereo component. I listen to music at bedtime on system that costs about $5,000 including a Creek Amplifier, AR speakers, a Rega Planet CD player and a Chroma HDCD DA convertor.
I'm somewhat picky, but not as crazy or rich as some audiophiles. For the most part, this unit is indistinguishable from the Rega Planet, which is a huge, huge step up from just plugging an iPod into an amplifer.
It doesn't have the punch of an HDCD, which I miss on the relatively few discs that use the technology.
But for bedtime music, it's perfect. I hear the instruments wafting through my room with textures that are deep and rich.
The main reason I got it was to clear up clutter of bedroom CDs, and it solved that problem. The sound is good enough so that I can listen to the music without losing the enjoyment in criticizing the sound quality.
That's a huge plus for an iPod, right? And I get the functionality of choosing music by genre, album, performer, from my 10K song 160 gig Classic.
I didn't compare it to its locally produced competitor...but that company sells the same function for $2,000..and you have to send them your iPod so they can rework it. I'd be curious to hear the difference, but can't imagine it's worth five times more.
