Any Mc fans know of or have tried the Pro-Ject IPod Dock or the RothDock?

Both are new products which I had the opportunity to try in the last couple of weeks and are available for under $200.
The ROTHDOCK actually works wirelessly. You can have the Dock next to you and it communicates with an adapter that can be connected to one of analog inputs on your preamp.
The Pro-Ject is a rather very sturdy IPod Dock that you must control by using the remote on the IPod itself. I was rather quite surprised at the quality of this dock.
Both are decent alternatives for casual listening though the Pro-ject provided better sound and I couldn't detect a difference between AAC files or Apple Lossless files. If there is a difference its quite subtle. Neither are quite as good as listening to RedBook CD's, but they are rather quite close.
I thought I would just pass on this for information purposes.
