I own the I70 transport and enjoy its convenience, but I also just bought a new cdp to replace my current cdp that went on the fritz. Then I turned around decided to repair the broken cdp also even though money wise it's not a smart move. Point is, I like the process of spinning cd's, and still prefer the sound over the wadia. The wadia is simply another option for me to que music and enjoy a different interpretation of my collection.
who needs a cd player anymore
I have not used my 2 cd players in over a year and i don't miss them. I have a krell kid ipod player, msb ilink and wadia i170 all ipod based. The real advantage is not having to search though hundreds of cd and wasting time on finding songs. On one ipod touch 32 GB i have over 3,000 itunes plus songs on it. On my other ipod i have apple lossless music only. My point when you lose your cd player and go to a music server, ipod etc. you can enjoy so much more music and thats what its really about.
