Need Expert Help for a Gift

I am not sure I am on the right board, but please direct me if I am not, I am new at this.

Hi All,
My husband is a HUGE audiophile, and spent more than I care to admit on equipment for our home entertainment system. I would like to purchase a docking station for the new IPOD Nano 16gb device (which is also part of the gift), but I am confused, since there are so many docking stations out there, and I could not possibly buy something he would think is inferior. Any advice would be appreciated. Specs you may need:

Onkyo Receiver (TX-NR905 bought last year)
Some ridiculously expensive speakers that sound the same to me as the ones you buy at Best Buy (but don't tell him that)

Additionally, I have read some reviews on docking stations, and it seems they require better cabling than the ones that come with it, so any additional cabling that might be suggested or required is really helpful!

Thank you for helping the non-audiophile!

Hello Dear!

That is awfully sweet of you to buy me an IPOD nano. But I have a Denon receiver. Oh wait, you might not be my wife!

That whole "Some ridiculously expensive speakers that sound the same to me as the ones you buy at Best Buy (but don't tell him that)" line sounds really, really familiar.
;-)

(Your husband is a lucky man to have a wife who indulges him in his hobby! Good Luck to you!)

PS Sorry I can't help with the IPOD docking station, but being "an old fogey" audiophile, I am not into IPODs!
