For what it's worth, I decided to take a chance on the TEAC dock, and I am impressed! I did a brief A-B comparison with my Rega Apollo CD player, and I struggled to hear much of a differnece in sound quality on the same source material. If anything, the TEAC was a bit 'leaner' sounding, but still had good detail and soundstaging. For $299 new, it's winner!
