Speaker docks that also play from USB stick

[admin_exported]

Hi, I posted this in the MP3 forum but I thought after maybe I should have posted it in this one?...

Hello there, this is my first post so sorry if this has been discussed a thousand times before.

I have recently been investigating iphone speaker docks and have discovered there are some that also read from a USB stick although they seem to be few and far between.

I saw this in Lenco HMV for £60 which was when I first realised some could read USB ... http://tinyurl.com/6333qte

Also been looking at the Roth Audio for £89.. http://tinyurl.com/5wmg82v

Or finally the Pioneer XWNAV1-K-K £116 http://tinyurl.com/6xy7pb2 (but seems like a bit of a jack of all trades?!)

Sound is very important and I have never heard of Lenco or Roth Audio before, ideally I would like to hear them first but have not been able to find anywhere local that demos any of them so I turn to this very informed forum for help please. Has anyone found a good dock with USB of heard anything about the above?

If I cannot decide I will probably just get a standard dock of which I am looking at Kitsound Boom dock, Logitech S715i or the Yamahah PDX50. All 3 seem to be getting very good reviews and feedback on the internet but again any info or opinions from you chaps would be gratefully recieved.

Thanks for any help 🙂

Hi Ian,

The CHARLiE system won't "read" a USB stick - it has a USB input so that one can run a computer (or similar) direct into it, in the same manner as if one was using a standard audio input.
