haha, I just tried with my echo indigo and vCap dock. I hear what you mean. It is a very smooth sound and not a sound that I can recall hearing from my music before. Its odd, smooth, but infected mushroom sounds much different. I don't like how it dulls the sound with them, but it does sound pretty nice with some wailing guitars from Joe Satriani. Its just a different sound to me. I've only been listening for a few minutes, but so far the bass lost its punch, I loose a lot of it somewhere. The clarity and accuracy sound off. I don't think I'd consider it an upgrade, but it is fun to hear how it changes the sound. I can't keep listening to it much longer though, I hear too much cymbal now listening to Mindless Self Indulgence and need the bass and clarity back.
A little off topic, but I wanted to mention that because I want the UE11 so much, I thought about selling my vCap dock for a long minute. So I compared it directly to the Super Cotton Dock I have. I can't do it at all. The system isn't complete without it now. It brings a lot of extra texture and clean bass with the iMod that really makes the difference in me considering it a permanent rig and not just a portable. I could never give that up for the UE11 before I get the chance to hear the combo together.
