I have a basic Benchmark DAC hooked up to my Wadia 170i, and the Benchmark driving two channels of a Theta Intrepid amp. Speakers are the Wilson Watt V's. All cables are high end, including a Kimber Select digital (RCA) cable. The combo is quite nice (I think the speakers are overkill, and cheaper priced bookshelves would work fine). The Wadia with an iPod is definitely high end if proper gear is used downstream.
What's in your Wadia iTransport system?
I am having a difficult time working out the "hard edge" in my current system: iPod 160gb Classic (lossless) > Wadia iTranport > Cambridge DacMagic > Rotel RSP-976 > Rotel RP-985 MKII > Paradigm Studio 20 v3. The Rotel components and speakers were purchased used on AudioGon, the remaining purchased new. Total investment ~ $2,500. I would appreciate hearing about your iTransport system and investment. Also any suggestions on next-step cost effective improvements on my system. Thanks very much.
