| Received my Wadia i170 transport today. I have been enjoying my iTransport for two weeks now. For a DAC it is mated to a PS Audio Digital Link III with level 4 Cullen mods. When comparing to my CDP, I am able to level match the volume of each input on my preamp and I am using the same m... | |

| Wilson Audio Watt Puppy 5.1 or.. Maybe I have a different take on bad recordings, knowing their not good, but in my system, using W/P 7's, less than stellar recordings are not unacceptable for me...maybe I just don't have many of those. :)BTW, congratulations on the new purchase! | |
| Ipod Dock with direct out????? Hi Sleeve,I follow you better now. The one thing I miss, slightly, is viewing how much time is left on a track, which I now must go up to the iPod to read. As for which track is next etc., I could never do that with a CD player anyway, I'd have to... | |
| Ipod Dock with direct out????? I like the idea of digital out very much, but I don't like my iPod reduced to a Shuffle.Neither would I and I am glad it is not. I don't know if you are talking about an external screen, but I can navigate my iPod while docked on the iTransport ju... | |

| Ipod Dock with direct out????? $379 doesn't seem expensive to me considering the overall prices within this hobby. Adding a device such as the iTransport to use use an iPod doesn't come across to me as a "headache", quite the opposite; it allows people to merge their portable w... | |
| Ipod Dock with direct out????? some of the comments above make it sound like a lot of headaches to get it right.I don't see where it would be any different than the way you load your Nano; obviously for higher quality you would chose Apple Lossless, WAV, etc., which I assume yo... | |
| Ridge Street Audio Sason Ltd. Loudspeaker I heard them at the AKFEST in Livonia, MI this year and they still temp me! They are not located too far from me and if their demo room was more accessible it is possible I would already own them and/or would go temp myself more. | |
| Ipod Dock with direct out????? Sure the iPod is portable, but not when you add the Wadia dock, amp & speakers and so on.Why does it no longer become portable? You just pull it off the iTransport, plug in your headphones and away you go! I admit I am not knowledgeable off al... | |
| Ipod Dock with direct out????? Wow, quite a brutal assessment Uclaid. My experience differs from yours and maybe this is partly because I knew somewhat what to expect from the iTransport going in, as I had seen it at an audio show.I am curious what iPod model you are using? Som... | |
| Ipod Dock with direct out????? Any jitter will have come from the original rip and is now part of the file, unable to be removed. Am I wrong?From what I have read, yes, you would be wrong, in context. There is a great article on jitter in a recent Stereophile or TAS issue that ... | |
| Received my Wadia i170 transport today. does this transport support iphone?I was told in the past it does, but have no experience.I have been using my iTransport for about a week now and I am very pleased. | |
| Ipod Dock with direct out????? I had no idea the iPod could actually output digital and bypass it's own DAC.Well, the Wadia 170 iTransport is the only licensed product on the market to do this. But, as you can read in this thread, MSB offers the ability to modify the iPod to do... | |
| Ipod Dock with direct out????? Carl, I have an iPod that is 160 gig that I have loaded all the CD's I own onto, at least the songs I care about; I loaded these via Apple Lossless and I have used somewhere around 35 gig of the iPod. Some of us find it very convenient to not have... |
