I think this is the right place for this. I couldn't find another thread that addressed this that hasn't been deceased for quite some time, but if there is one hiding somewhere feel free to move/delete this one.
I want to buy an iPod docking station for Fiance's birthday. His is ancient and frankly, it sucks. The sound quality is pretty horrid and it doesn't even support the newer iPods. I know in general, you probably won't get superior quality out of these things, but I'd like to find one that we can actually enjoy listening to. I figure there have got to be some audiophiles around here somewhere that can give me some advice. What do you use? Would you recommend it?
The only other issue I'm concerned with is that it needs to be compatible with the 5th generation iPod. Are most/all of these backwards compatible?
I found
this one that seems to be similar to what I'm looking for, but some of the reviews make me question it. I really don't like that it resets to mid volume every time you turn it on. I can see that getting pretty annoying.
Any thoughts you guys have would be greatly appreciated. Thanks in advance!
