Hi all

I hope you can help, people who work in shops (a generalization I know, but I?m frustrated) seem to suffer from a total ignorance relating to all their products.  :mad:

With storage becoming sooo much cheaper I?m looking at moving my music collection (only about 320ish CD?s) to an IPod, using some form of lossless format. 

I?m not interested in something like a Mede8er at this stage, been happy with a small iPod in the past and looking for something a bit bigger to give me a GUI and a lot more storage..

I?m looking for input on the following

? What format is recommended
? What iPod is recommended
? What docking station will give me a digital output, a remote control, and display something legible on my Samsung LCD TV
? With the above, I really want to be able to work through artist/album names/ album pictures etc
? What reasonably (very  ;D ) priced DAC could be used to improve the output


Thanks for any input!
