Ipod Dock with direct out?????

Justin,

I ordered it from Music Direct about 1 and 1/2 mos. ago. I received a UPS notification that MD has shipped a package to me, which I am assuming is the iTransport. Stay tuned.

And yes, I am going to compare it to sound of the same CD's through my transport, which is a RAM modded CEC TL-1X with Superclock 3 and which I would not part with. I use a Stealt Sextet XLR digicable, but may be using a Kharma Grand Ref and/or i2digital cable because I do not think the iTransport has an XLR output.

Regards,

Neal

Great Neal.

I know this is a big request but can you open the box and look inside. A lot of us have been curious what Wadia's packing in there. I understand if you don't want to but I am really curious if it's just wires or if they have some sort of chip in there. I know it's a big request so again I understand if you don't want to.

I'll see what I can do, Justin, without voiding the warranty.

There will have to be some kind of chip inside the Wadia, as it supposedly has to address the iPod with some kind of coded "greeting" which allows the iPod to output digital. But chips is chips. Personally, I was surprised the Wadia was announced at the price it was. Apple put in that capability for a reason before Wadia ever discovered it. One need's Apple's permission, but Wadia got it, and I imagine others can too.

That said, I too will be interested to read about people's impressions of the Wadia.

T_bone,

Yeah I figure there has to be some kind of chip in there too. I learned yesterday that not all of the pins are used on the Ipod and that one of the unused ones can send the digital signal. You still need to tell the Ipod to do it though. Somebody said it was software but I don't see how that would work(unless you load the software on your computer and then hook up your Ipod and then I don't know what). So I agree it is probabaly a chip that tells the Ipod to send it.
