Wadia 170i transport experience?

You clearly have better hearing than me Fenando as I compared .wav, .aiff and apple lossless and could in no way tell a difference.

Fernando, I have no doubt that what you're saying is true, with your DAC. I'm saying that with my DAC there is no difference because the upsampling program and reclocking is so good. My DAC upsamples to DSD-level and applies an alogarythm that challenges any format. Pure DSD IS better and so is 24/192, but no much else.

Dumb question, but I really do not understand something.I have been an Audiophile for my whole life , but computers are a new thing for me.

My daughter bought me for Fathers day a Minin Ipod Shuffle, (the type that clips on to a shirt) to play my tunes while cutting the 13 Acres of grass.

Anyway, I downloaded about 500 songs to I tunes and the Ipod shuffle works great!

But, to go further, and say I buy a I POD Classic 120 and the Wadia Docking station.
Wouldnt I have to store thousands of my songs onto my computer before down loading them into the new Ipod Classic 120 ?

Wouldnt that take up a large portion of my Computers hard drive to do this?

Yes and yes.

That said, another option is to purchase an external hard drive and process all your iTunes on that.

Brianmgrarcom , Thank you for the help.
I guess I need to get in touch with the Computer generation.
