I really like this dock, and I am recommending it to all my friends. It uses the same dock adapters that are comming with the newer ipods, so you dont have to worry about buying a new dock in the near future. Its way cheaper than Apple's official dock, and (almost) everything you need is in the box. With Apple's dock, you have to buy the dock, a remote, the cables, and that gets pretty expensive quick. The Xitel HiFi Link also has a little knob that controls the "Trubass". With high-end speakers, you dont really need this, unless you like a little extra bass (like me). But if you are using lower-end speakers, like computer speakers, the Trubass is amazing. Once I turned it up with computer speakers, the sound was immediately improved, and I have never heard sounds so rich on those speakers before.

There are two small problems that I personally dont mind, but there are probably people who will mind.

1) The dock doesnt come with a Video cable. I can see why, as the dock is universal, and not everyone has a Video iPod.

2) You cant connect your ipod to the computer. Not a problem at all for me, as I always just use the iPod's USB cable, and I have yet to hear a good reason to use a dock for syncing.

Very easy to install and use. Clean, simple design. The only improvement I can think of would be to make the cradle adjustable for various iPods without having to use inserts. It would be great if the manufacturer also offered a wireless version.
