Denon unveils new S-52 iPod dock, AT series speakers

Denon has a few new audio offerings as of late, with the S-52 iPod speaker dock firing the opening shot. It's also an internet / DAB / FM radio, CD player, and a wireless audio streamer that can stream MP3s, AACs and other formats from a PC. At £500 ($1000+), it's rather expensive, but you get a lot of bang for your buck. Also new is the AT-SP30BLH speaker set, which couples up with the ID-5 iPod dock. $230, and the duo's yours: although at only 6 Watts output, you're probably best looking elsewhere.

Why is it that expensive? It's just another ipod dock, although the wireless functionalities are always a plus.

when ipod touch/iphone get shoutcast internet radio software (either officially or non) then many ipod docks will get the upgrade to internet radio, for substantially less than $1000.... I think I'll just wait for that.

Denon stuff sounds amazing. I wouldn't count it out too soon. It may be able to run with the big dogs regardless of the numbers.

When the ultimate convergence occurs, the Singularity, it will be all about the iPod.

Let me know when there is a dock with Sirius built in...

ONE THOUSAND SMACKEROOS for a frackin TABLE RADIO? Denon, schmenon! You can put together an excellent stereo system for half this price, including a remote controllable dock. Or you could do the smart thing and buy a Sonos system (yes, it is now Sirius compatible!) for the same price.

It's not $1,000+. You know the UK/Europe usually pays more for electronics. It's $700 according to a few sites. Maybe still too expensive for some of you, but it has everything I need. Beats the "Blose" systems out there.

I think this is the holy grail, for me at least. It's certainly a heck of a lot more than a radio - it's an internet radio, an HD radio, compatible with satellite radio, streams all your music from your PC wirelessly, including Rhapsody if you have it, plus it has an i-pod dock, plays CDs and has an alarm. And as if all that wasn't enough it has Denon quality sound. And no i don't work for Denon. The frustrating thing is I can't get hold of one!!!!
