Welcome to CNET Top 5, where each time we meet, we count down another hot CNET list. I'm Tom Merritt. Father's Day is coming up, and dads like tech. But getting your dad an iPod is like getting him a tie. And a TV is a little out of the budget for most Father's Day gift-givers, unless you team up. But don't worry. We've got the Father's Day presents sure to make your tech-loving padre smile big. Let's count 'em down. At No. 5, the Sonos S5 digital music system. Great sound, no clutter, no cables and controlled from an app on your iPhone or iPod Touch. Perfect for the Apple-toting pops. Coming in at No. 4, the Sony BDP-S570. It's not just a high-def Blu-ray player. It has 3D support, Netflix, Amazon, YouTube, and Slacker music support and built-in Wi-Fi. You will get hugged if you give this. Up to No. 3, Audioengine 2. Dads still want to impress friends. And one way to impress friends is with small things that do impressive stuff. These compact speakers deliver phenomenal sound for their size. Perfect for the Audiophile father. Sliding in at No. 2, the Amazon Kindle. Dads read. And this helps them impress their annoying neighbors while they do it.
