Dice Electronics iTPA-220 Review

I am not sure what was sent to digital trends, but the unit I received (physically) is nothing like described above. The unit feels solid; I even showed it to some people I work with who were curious about it (I had it delivered to my office so that I wouldn’t miss the delivery). They concurred that it felt solid. There is no give or bend to the unit and I have yet to notice any smell other than that of new plastic.

The sound is great, no problems there. It is not going to shake your house and you probably shouldn’t expect it to. It is plenty loud and doesn’t distort. I am a fan of 60s music and I like what I hear nice and warm.

The volume knob is a little confusing when used in conjunction with the remote. It doesn’t turn with the remote, so it is more like operating the volume on the ipod. It just dials around and around until you are either at max or min volume kind of odd.

My only other problem is that I wish that the ipod sat a little more snuggly. You should really put your hand on it (fingers behind the ipod) like you are holding it and accessing its functions when not in the unit, otherwise it seems to have a bit too much play in the holder using the correct ipod adapter does alleviate this a bit I just discovered.

Anyway, for the price I am very happy.
