iPod Hifi

Have any of you tried the new iPod Hifi from Apple? It looks interesting to me - at least they seem to have conceded that you need a reasonably large enclosure to get decent sound. Also the embeded amp is class D, which is somewhat of a trend in higher end solid state amps (Rowland, Nuforce).

I heard this in the apple story yesterday, granted playing mp3s...

i thought it sounded pretty awful, not nearly as good as a wave radio even. Very harsh sounding, no "soundstage", all seems to come from the box, really not much interesting about it. ipod hifi vs. nad int. and ascend speaks for $500 total?
