onkyo ds-a3 Ipod Dock

[admin_exported]

Hi, Ive been trying to purchase a black Onkyo DS-A2X for my Ipod 80GB Classic but they seem to be like 'hens teeth'. I have tried on -line all over the place. I have been told that they are a) going out of production and b) they are not compatable with the new 6th generation Ipods ( like mine) and that Onkyo are bringing out a new DS-A3 dock. Can anyone help me out on what I should do next? any information would be helpful. Thanks, Ian

Hi Ian. I picked up a DS-A2x last week from my local Practical HIFI in Blackpool for £65.00 to use with my new 80gig Classic.

Although it's not compatible with the Ipods video output the dock comes with it's own on screen display which shows the artist, album, track name etc on your TV screen when connected with the composite cable. So far I'm more than happy with my purchase. To me it sounds great through my modest HIFI/home cinema set up.

According to this month WHFI the new version of the dock isn't out till next year so you've got a bit of a wait if you don't manage to track down one of the current models.

Best of luck

Pete.

Hi Strodo, thank you. Not too sure that it's the Onkyo I should be going for. My The amp I've got is Onkyo CR-715 DAB hece the reason for going for the DS-a2X. Ian
