$550.00
Released January, 2009
The Pros:IPod interface is well rendered, easy to navigate. Sound quality is excellent, drives aftermarket speakers powerfully without needing an extra amp. Lots of options for shaping the sound, easy to use EQ.
The Cons:Takes a bit of time to get all of the settings worked out, setup is a bit time consuming. Extreme latency when using a USB flash drive, takes up to 10 minutes to read all of the files. Movie files will only play from an iPod, won't work with other USB devices.
