Review: Apple iPod Hi-Fi

Pros

• Innovative software features
• Big, rich sound
• Can power iPod even when Hi-Fi running off battery
• Easy to use
• Excellent remote performance
• Analog/optical auxiliary input with built-in DAC
• Surprisingly good bass response and volume levels for its size
• Runs off AC or battery power

Cons

• No video-out
• Lacks treble detail
• Top-mounting dock makes it difficult to place the Hi-Fi on a bookshelf and requires you to remove iPod before moving system
• Scratchable surfaces, fabric grille, and heavy weight not really suited for portable use
• Black version MIA
