Wadia ITransport


Just purchased Wadia IPod dock for use with my IPod Touch. I am using Canare 75ohm cable as an interface with my Cambridge 840C AZURE CD player. Reading reviews about the IDock and importing Apple Lossless files, I noticed a difference (small)but noteworthy, where the Dock seems a bit compressed and lacking the resolution and dynamics when compared to the CD. I'm not quite sure, but I thought I remembered with lossless files, the Dock could actually sound better than the CD.

Thank you, I look forward to your thoughts and comments.

RPG,

Good work. Curious which high grade PC you have which has two-pin connector.

Now on to better digicable and you'll be good to go.

Neal,

The power cable I purchased is from Audioquest. They have two cables with the exact configuration required for the power supply. The cables are the NRG-1 and NRG-1.5.

Thanks again for your suggestions, I'm getting closer.

which PC did you buy? NRG 1 or NRG 1.5? awesome that it made such a difference!
To all who have helped so much. I have managed to exceed (not huge, but notable)the sound quality of the original CD's with my Wadia transportusing starting with WAV or Apple Loss-Less files to my IPod. Next, I introduced a New power cord, Audioquest NRG-1.5, a new Digital IC, the superb Harmonic Technology Digital Platinum. The last tweak I did was take my Fluke meter and measure the AC ripple present in the unit and, since the PC is two prong of the same size, I oriented the cable for the lowest AC ripple. You know, as I sit here writing, listening to Eagles "Alive", it without a doubt, that it sounds better then the source CD. Thanks again to all who have helped!
