The Arcam drDock takes a major deviation from its predecessor,
the irDock, and in doing so adds greater functionality, improved build quality
and more universal docking options. The drDock syncs all your devices and, with
the exception of the IPad, charges them too, whilst the handy remote controller
will give you all the control you need without getting off the couch with full
support for iOS devices including power, volume, play, pause, skip/seek, repeat
and shuffle functions. HDMI will also prove useful for big-screen video
playback, especially on Retina Display devices, and works as a rudimentary
media player.

The drDock accommodates iPads, iPhones and iPods so that a wide
range of aps can be accessed through direct digital connection when docked. Films,
TV programmes and music can all be played back through the drDock as on the
rear of the black arcam dr dock there are several different connection formats,
HDMI and composite. The most obvious place to start is the design. The drDock is
part of a wave of new 'R Series' products from the company (which includes the
'rDAC' which we will review in a few days) and they feature a unified aluminium
construction and matt black finishes. In photos the drDock looks good, but in hand
the build quality is exceptional. A
small and useful IR remote also comes with the drDock however other Arcam
remotes are also compatible e.g. the Arcam rCube remote. The highlight of this iPhone/iPod dock
remains its audio quality with the integrated DAC giving a master class in
bolstering audio performance.
