I use this with an iPod Classic. It performs a similar function to a standard docking station or a simple headphone cable for connecting to an amplifier but with the following advantages:
* Remote control allows access to all menu functions - the iPod version did not control the Classic - plus a couple of extra direct functions like shuffle and repeat.
* Volume is good through the hi-fi and seems to be properly matched so the tone is right, (headphone socket is reduced volume and muffled which is why it is worth having some form of docking station that takes the output from the iPod connector).
* Uses own power supply so don't need an iPod charger and iPod cable which are separate purchases with the iPod dock.
* Leaves volume setting on iPod alone which means can use headphones without blowing ears off or use hi-fi without fiddling around first - and blowing ears off when changing to another source.
Comes with a 3.5mm cable so you may need to get a 3.5mm to RCA phono adapter to connect to your hi-fi (I've acquired oodles of these over the years).
So it works out cheaper than the iPod dock for connecting to hi-fi and works better. (Note that it does not connect to a PC like the iPod Dock). |

| I bought this as a compromise after getting a 120gb Ipod Classic for Xmas. As the intention was to connect my Ipod to my hi-fi I wanted the Denon Docking Station but the retailer did not have one in stock but recommended the Pure version as not only superior but less than half the price. Now I cannot say if it is superior but less that half the price I can confirm. This is a lovely bit of kit and unlike the Denon it comes with a remote so you do not put any stress on the Ipod connection whilst it is in the docking station. The only accessory I had to but was the cable to connect to my amplifier. Now I am cooking on gas (as they say) and am a very happy bunny. |
Really Very, Very Good

| Right I'll be honest, new to the whole iPod thing but have an iPod touch 2G 16GB and was looking for a cheap way to get a decent line level (not headphone level, which is lower) to my surround sound system which for those of you who are interested is Pioneer with Celestion pod speakers and a sub. This unit does that very, very well, none of the flabby bass and sibilent treble you get going through the h/phone socket. The sound is surprisingly good, presenting a clear and tight soundstage. For £30 or whatever the price is today you can't go wrong with this, the remote works well but that's a bonus really, it's the sound that counts. Only gripe (which is a very unfair one really) is that if you have a protective case on your iPod you can't use the adaptors that Pure supply as the Ipod wont fit snuggly into the dock, but this would be true of any dock I guess. I leave my iPod in it's protective case and just plug it straight in without an adaptor - works fine. Genuinely - a great and cheap-ish solution to the problem, yes you'll need a 3.5 h/phone to 2x phono lead for a hi-fi connection but that's no problem. Great little product.PURE VL-61119 i-10 Powered iPod Dock with Remote Control |
