Wadia 170iTransport


$379.00 Released January, 2009

Product Shot 1 The Pros:Allows users to consolidate their music collection on their highly mobile iPod while still allowing for it to be used in a high fidelity setting. Bypasses the limiting iPod DAC and internal amplifier. Allows video output.

The Cons:Very expensive. Most people's iPods usually contain poor quality audio and video files - source first. Not very aesthetically pleasing.

The Wadia 170iTransport is an iPod dock cited as being the first to bypass the iPod’s built-in digital-to-analog (DAC) converter. This allows users to pass music signals digitally to an audio/video receiver, outboard DAC, or other high-quality components for richer & enhanced sound quality.
