I have a Marantz SR6003 AVR. It has an MP3 input but no iPod connection built in. I looked at the docks they sell, but found something I liked better. The Cambridge Audio iD100. It is strictly a digital dock, meaning it sends the raw digital bitstream from the iPod(bypassing its internal DAC)directly to the digital input of the Marantz AVR via either Coax or optical. I have loaded a few CDs into iTunes and loaded those on my iPod Touch, and played it through the Cambridge dock. I could not detect any obvious difference between direct CD playback and the iPod connection.
Streaming Pandora via WI-FI this way sounds surprisingly good as well.


Ok, so there are docks that you can use to connect to any receiver or Pre/Pro? I thought most or all were specific to that company with their own special conenctors. (i.e Yamaha, Denon, Marantz etc)
