I have the Bose Portable sounddock I love ... I took the rcube for a second slightly different device. Who used to listen to my music with my dock-speaker placed very close to my office, I must admit that some may rcube me baffled, disappointed to see this type of use in relation to the Bose is great. As against sound to a room there ... it's the opposite happened, Arcam is truly a marvel and say it, than the Bose in these listening conditions. I took the RWAVE dongle and we must admit that Kleer technology is really well developed (unlike bluetooth) ... they sound almost identical between my Ipod "docked" and what comes out of my PC via Rwave . Warning very very important to me and if I can convince some users on that ... Do not give pearls before swine ... Do not listen to that music in AIFF or WAVE or MP3 ... no AAC (no need to buy this type of equipment in these conditions) ... necessary FLAC or ALAC formats if you want ... but blah !!!
