So far I only know that one have the charger and the other doesn't. What about sound quality?
as i am yet to receive my teflon v-cap dock from ken, i cannot comment on the sound differences between the auricap wooden and portable v-cap, standard or special edition.

what i am lead to believe is that v-caps, are second only to audio note caps and provide the very best at what they do, if i had to guess which would sound better, my answer would be the special edition v-cap --> standard v-cap and then thirdly the auricap fidelity you mention

it is very handy that the fidelity charges also, but this can be done also with any of the v-cap docks. alo or members of this board can make you a chargeable-hybrid imod dock cable. i for example have ordered one from stevenkelby which will charge N play via usb mini, which i can connect to a usb female port wall wart

that way cou can be flexibe in having your dock, plugged in at home, and removed for portable on the go usage.
