Performance
Ordinarily, the iPod's volume has multiple levels, but we noticed when it's connected to the DLX, there's only five. Though it's not prescribed in the user manual, there's a way to share your iPod's music with a friend. While the iPod is connected to the dock, the earphone jack on the iPod itself is still functional, so an additional earphone can be plugged in here.

Initially we had doubts on the ability of the Fibretronic ribbon to maintain audio fidelity. Using both the Creative Zen Aurvana and the Etymotic ER-4P to compare the audio connectivity on the DLX with direct connection to the iPod, we found no discernable drop in quality. Our test tracks sound as crisp through both the DLX connection and direct iPod connectivity.
The stock earphones, however, needs to be improved. The sound quality reminds us of earlier iPod generations' stock earphones. Bass lacked finesse and treble sounded splashy though mids were still acceptable.
