A change of mind.
Have just found this bad boy. Suits me much better (Android
connectivity, built in bluetooth, no CD player, radio and really, really
loud!)

Hello.
Having been made aware of versatility and amazingly big sound of the
Ruark R4i Audio Music System I am considering buying one. Has anyone any
experience of using these with LMS/Squeezebox?
It has an iPod dock, and although I use Google Nexus phones I guess I
could use some sort of
I would feed it's rear panel audio sockets from a RaspberryPi with an
inbuilt DAC such as the IQ Audio (http://iqaudio.com/), control the RPi
from OrangeSqueeze.

Thanks chaps.
Unfortunately I don't think the Pi is a goer. I've never had much luck
with *nix stuff and am too old (and busy) to have another go at the
platform. And I am still left with the problem of my son and Spotify.
Bern. I think the iPod/iPhone route is probably the best compromise.
I'd go for a recent ipod touch ideally the last modem with 32 pin
connector but if you end up with a newer one with lightning connector
you will then need the ruark adapter AND the Apple 32 pin to lightning
adapter.
You definitely should use the iPod dock rather than iThingy headphone
out to
Sorry didn't answer your question. No they aren't the same.
With the dock the Ruark DAC is used and the Ruark volume control is the
only one you would use.
If you use the headphone jack then the iPod DAC is used and you will get
two volume controls. One on the iPod and one on the Ruark.
