Looking for an iPod/iPhone dock for the hifi. Any suggestions?
Arcam rDock if you want to spend about £100. Though arguments will no doubt reign as to the bitrate your iPod stuff is encoded on as to whether this is a worthwhile investment. I like mine anyway.
Dock for your existing hi-fi?
Why not just get the standard Apple dock which has a line out, and plug that in to your hi-fi input? You could even just run a cable from the headphone jack to the line in for ultimate cheapness.
Yes looking for a dock to use ipod with existing hifi. I've used it with an aux lead via the mic in and the sound isn't great if you crank it up.
Just found the what hifi reviews and that Arcam does seem good. I should have added that i would prefer to use the audio in sockets on the rear of the hifi
So you just used the headphone out to mic in?
Worth trying the headphone/line out to aux input (you can pick up the cable for a few quid, with a headphone jack style on one end, and split aux input connections on the other end).
Might have one of those kicking about somewhere....
Arcam one here too.
Don't use the headphone output as it's rubbish, use a dock and the line out from the iPhone/iPod bypasses the headphone amp giving a much better signal for your hifi
Arcam one runs phono cables out so would plug straight into the aux in. To be honest I think most of the standalone docks do.
EDIT! Read the post title properly! What I suggested isn't a dock to connect to a hifi.
i have the arcam rdock.
i was sceptical at first but it does sound quite good although not up to cd quality.
i would prefer to use the audio in sockets on the rear of the hifi
Why spend £xxx on a dock, when [url= http://www.cableuniverse.co.uk/3.5mm-to-rca-cables/ ]any of these[/url] will do the job?
