Mine is undocked. I just upgraded to Daz 4.8 and installed the latest plugins. Haven't tried anything in Poser yet but just a single naked G2Male practically out of the box takes around three minutes to render in DS 4.8 with this new iRay thingy. Same scene in 3Delight is under a minute. iRay looks better but no way am I buying a new video card just for that when I prefer to use Poser and iRay of course does not work with Poser. Not to mention learning a whole new render system and buying new stuff properly set up for iRay.
:sigh: This is getting to be a very expensive hobby. Er, more expensive than usual, I mean. And with more products being Daz Studio only -- no Poser Companion Files added or a way to make it work in Poser even with additional tinkering -- I'm finding it less and less appealing. Every time there's a new release I keep hoping it's something I can use. But the odds are almost always against me. Maybe I ought to just call it a day. :-(
