Music dock

[jkolner]

Hi
Does anybody know of a music dock with speaker and amplifier to play music?
There is several avalibel for the iPhone but i can't finde any for the DHD :-(

I'd also like any information on this too. I've missed a great music dock since my W800i.

It amazes me that there is such a huge selection of iPod docks yet I do not know of one single mini USB dock - wtf?

Yeah. Sometimes it's just easier to go with the flow! In the sense that if a music dock was a deal-breaker then best get an iPod/iPhone as there're plenty of alternatives.

Though you can get Bluetooth ones or ones with a 3.5mm aux input which would work. Depends whether you want to charge at the same time. It'd be nice to.

PS: don't ask me for links as I've seen them whilst *surfing* the web but not book-marked them as I'm not after one myself!

Any news about this ? I'm interested of buying one 'music dock'. Anyone found something?

Maybe something like this ... http://www.gromaudio.com/store/accessories/cable-c-ipd2jk.html ... will allow you to use ipod stuff? Not tried one myself though.

Why not just buy a pair of PC speakers?

I cant really see what docking would add extra feature-wise. Unless you can simulate the buttons from the headphones.

PC speakers? Hardly a great way to listen to music from our DHD's.

A dock I am after will hold the DHD, charge it & play music from it.

It will still be a hellovalot better than the builtin speaker

Edit: Are you looking for something portable? That you keep on your lap? My 10 year old Creative Inspire 440 4.1 speaker set is small and makes a crap load of noise.

I'm after something that would sit happily on a sideboard or table, and not look out of place.

I ideally want the DHD equivalent of the B&W Zeppelin iPod HiFi system. I can dream....

If we can't find a complete set, I think a simple dock with 3.5mm out it will be good ... with a good set of speakers.

I run a 3.5mm to L+R RCA cable to a NAD Amp, running to 2 floor standing 300w Speakers and I can tells you ... I certainly get better sound than any of the iPod docks get!

Spare charger runs right next to it on a phone stand thing and I'm sorted.

I posted the adaptor cable earlier but that was only for interest. On my office desk I have a Celjel stand and connect a mains charger and an amp to my DHD. The amp is connected to my PC as well but I use an amp so that I can use decent speakers ....

In the living room where my main stereo is I was going to get one of these ... http://www.amazon.co.uk/QED-uPLAY-WIRELESS-BLUETOOTH-RECEIVER/dp/B003BF0OF2/ref=pd_sim_sbs_ce_6 ... sounds expensive but it gets great reviews. So then the DHD gets played through my floor standing Mission speakers .. . All I need on top of that is a cheap fleabay charging stand for it to sit on the stereo stand. Sorted!

I know this is a slightly old thread but wondering if anyone has found a good music dock? I am after a small portable music dock, preferably one which charges the DHD at the same time, but would settle for a decent one with just 3.5mm connector.

Any recommendations?

I love it when old, but still useful, threads get revived.

Sadly I could not find a dock that I liked. So I made my own from a chunk of timber, a male to male 3.5mm jack and my wifes old SGS charger.

It took about 5 hours to get it right and sanded down, finished with a coat of teak oil.

I roughly followed this guide, but its set about 4-5mm into the wood leaning back and has a smaller back board.

Perfect bank holiday weekend project!

I wish you could just buy something like this http://www.talkandroid.com/guides/ipod-dock-adapter-for-motorola-droidmilestone/ instead of having to make it yourself

a combi of the two would be a nice solution, a wooden dock-thingy...

Although its a bit inconvenient, i plug my charger in and my logitech z2300s. Absolutely amazing sound with srs turned on.
