    Best Sound

    The rDock extracts pure digital audio from the iDevice and processes the music via an audiophile DAC, the Burr-Brown/TI PCM1502 and a Arcam’s de-jittering circuitry, giving a huge improvement in sound quality over the ‘i’ standard audio out. The analogue stereo out goes straight to any form of audio system, or to improve the sound even further, the pure digital signal can be fed to a higher grade DAC such as Arcam’s £400 irDAC or £2200 FMJ D33.

    No Wi-fi or Bluetooth required.

    No need to worry about wireless problems or phone battery life, just drop the device onto the dock and touch play or use the remote control supplied. The device is charged while playing.

    No connector problems.

    For perfect connections every time and future-proofing through iOS updates, Arcam only use genuine Apple Certified “Made For” Lightning connectors with the correct authentificatiion chip. The rDock-uni also allows users to connect any older 30-pin iDevice to the dock via a rear-mounted USB connector.
