i pod dock suggestions?

[bretty]

Im after a dock with a RF remote (need to control from other rooms) that sounds great. Any Ideas?

Don't mind the cost.

Hello? Hello? Is this thing on?

Ok, I've been doing a search on t'internet and so far have only come up with two other docks with RF remote. One was tin-pot £15 job, so i've discounted that straight off. The other is a Griffin Airdock, for around £50.

It looks fairly solid, with a good looking remote.

Anyone have any experience of it?

Hi bretty. Er, no experience of the Griffin, but I had seen your original post on the mp3 part of the forum so I was having a search too. Apple sell Griffin stuff on their site, which tends to suggest it is at least OK. I also saw on the Griffin site that the airdock has been discontinued, is this good or bad I wonder? Also, it does not get great reviews on Amazon. The lack of response on the forum suggests that using such a dock has not caught on again a reflection of it not being very good, yet anyway. Sorry.

I think Marantz are releasing an iPod dock, with bluetooth remote and adapter.

Assuming cost really is no objection then the Wadia dock, but not sure if it meets your functional requirements. £350-£400.

Cheers for your input, guys.

Wadia dock, eh? Not heard of that. I dont mind paying that if the quality's top notch and has the RF remote. I'll look into it.

Thanks again

That Wadia is absolutely beautiful, but only has infared remote. Bummer.

Ah, sorry...worth a shot I thought as didn't know the spec.

Have you considered the Klipsch RoomGroove? It acts like a multiroom system by transmitting whatever's playing on your iPod in one room wirelessly to another RoomGroove unit in a different room.

Thats a nice looking bit of kit. However, I do my listening to the ipod docked to my bedroom system while im in the bath, I dont think the roomgroove would like being in a steamy bathroom!

Or a Sonos with an iPhone as a wi-fi controller. (The Sonos ap is free and apparently works better than their own dedicated controller).
