We just received the new SONOS Wireless Dock 100 for iPod and it is a little knockout! SONOS has done it again, delivering a wireless dock that plugs into a wall outlet, connects wirelessly to your SONOS system and starts playing music from any iPod plopped on it to any or all Zone Players in your system. The music selections are even visible on your handheld, or desktop, controller, and you can browse and select just as if the iPod were in your hand! Best of all, it streams the music on your network digitally right off the wee little hard drive in your ‘Pod so your real DAC and preamp can do their rightful jobs of making music out of bits. Like the Peachtree iDecco and forthcoming iNova and DockIt, the SONOS WD 100 can turn an iPod into a very, very good sounding portable music server indeed, assuming it has been lovingly stuffed with full-res music files. But even if you've only got MP3 files on yours, it still makes a whale of an improvement letting better DACs and preamps take over. Imagine the fun you can have inviting your friends to bring their iPods, or even their iPhones, over to hear their music on a real music system! I'm listening to Segovia playing Purcell (Henry, not Jeff) right now on the "big rig" and it is shockingly good. Oh, and the price of admission to unleash all this music into your domestic life? A mere $119. Can you say anything but "I'll have one!"?
