The Deal with High-End iPod Docks
Newer high-end iPod docks aren’t cheap, but do allow you to get serious about sound without sacrificing convenience.
Despite what some of you audio geeks will admit, digital music does have its advantages. It allows you to carry even the stinkiest of your song library into a mammoth, yet mini hard drive—on the off chance that you feel like getting jiggy with any of it.
Sadly, it just doesn’t provide the oomph of your old, monster stereo system. Ask any self-proclaimed audiophile. Jaime Sommers isn’t the only one with a bionic ear; these guys (and gals) can hear the difference, and will gladly preach about the iPod’s inferiority from the highest couch cushions. It’s an annoying argument that you just can’t win; after all, compressed audio does not equal “CD-quality” sound.
