Marantz IS301, are you serious?
Checked out the IS301 iPod docking station. I can see this type of product from hum.... Sony or Yamaha, but not Marantz. To me Marantz is a bit higher-end than Sony or Yamaha. This docking station streams via Bluetooth. Bluetooth is the lowest quality for audio. There is nothing special about this dock. Give me something that will provide the convenience of an iPod and the Hi-Fi sound of Marantz.
 for this product.

Marantz has to cover all price ranges from zilch to expensive. I guess it fits in there somewhere.
 Also, I think Yamaha products match up very well against Marantz 'till you get to the top of the line seprates.

I just feel that Marantz could have done better. Something like the Wadia iDock would be suitable for the Marantz brand. That's only $399 retail.
