All,

-- The Vcap Dock was only designed for the 5G/5.5G iMods. Sure, you can use a stock 5G/5.5G iPod, but you will not get any benefit from it.

-- 4G iMods are a definite NO because the line-out of the modded 4G units exits from the 1/8" stereo jack on the top (formerally the headphone output) and the line-out from the dock connector is disabled.

-- Ken mentioned to me that he is working on a metal v-cap dock which will be more suitable for portable use (smaller) and less expensive.

I'm sure Ken will add more info to this thread when he gets a chance.

Best regards,

Vinnie

PS: My V-cap Dock has been accumulating the hours of burn-in and sounds even better! It really takes the sound quality of the 5G/5.5G iMod to the max. I know Ryan Clarin of 6moons.com is reviewing one and that review will be out later this month. I hope he puts it up against a much more expensive dedicated CD player because I know the iMod + Vcap Dock will hold its own just fine
