In reply to:
Did you get the kind that can be docked in your car and on your home system?
Nope. I already have a Roady2 for use in the car and in other areas of the house:
What I bought the other day was a Polk XRt12 unit for the main system:
It uses Burr-Brown DACs which (reportedly) makes it sound noticeably better than the portable units. In addition, it offers coaxial and optical digital outs and a video output so you can let your TV display the song/artist/track info etc.
One
very interesting tidbit is this (though I have not been able to confirm nor deny it!!!): I was listening to the "preview Channel 1" while setting it up and before registering the unit (to enable full-channel reception). On this channel, they give you a preview of what the other channels offer and info on how to register the unit. They had a short bit of info on a channel called
Squizz and I swear that they said it was in surround. I was only half-listening, but I really think that's what I heard. I had read previously in some internet forums that there might be multichannel down the road, but even if that were the case, I
really wouldn't expect a channel like this to be the first. If it
is the case, I'm sure I'll like the fact that the Polk offers digital outputs to the receiver!
Pretty good review here and a useful site:
Polk Review
I'll report back when I get it installed!
