I bought this Arcam irdock to play my 5th gen (late2006) iPod through my Nad receiver and Tannoy Floor standers. Nothing worked. I had the same problem with the Pure i20. Arcam after sales/support were next to useless. I would NOT recommend this product,as a result of my experience.
Just bought one of these and am delighted with it. I recently took the plunge and moved all my music onto iTunes and an IPod Classic. I have been using a Cambridge £20 dock from Richer Sounds but whilst that was very good value for money there was a clear drop in quality from CD. This Arcam irDock has overcome that completely and I'd say equals my CD player if not betters. I'm using it with a Cambridge Azur 640A Amp and Dali Lektor 2 speakers.
I'd recommend this to anyone; best £150 ive spent in a long time.
An upgrade in sound quality compared to the original rdock which was a pleasant and very welcome surprise...(I also replaced the figure of 8 mains cable with a £35 Merlin cable which gives the sound more focus)
The remote is small but does the job well giving you in depth control of your ipod menus and settings...
Probably the best bit of kit I've bought for some time. My system comprises Quad 99 pre-amp/909
power amp, PMC DB1i speakers and Naim CD5x; I was thinking of adding a Brennan JB7 music server but this is out of stock until at least the end of March, so what better than the irDock plus my iPod touch - perfect.
The irDock might seem a bit expensive at £150, but it delivers on all counts, plus it come with a great remote - what more can I say?

Any other ideas, rather than getting a new iPod?

Not AFAIK, no.
Does it have digital out like the Wadia 170i ipod dock?

I use this dock with my iPhone 3Gs and don't experience interference, even without turning flight mode on.
