Wadia ITransport

@rpg
thank you for your comment.
My post was just an alert for people with non oversampling dacs without jitter reducing circuits. itransport is not for them!
There is a big discussion about jitter all around the net. There are many people who prefer transports without a lot of jitter instead of using the dac or reclocker to eliminate it.
thanks

Levy03, congratulations! I find myself using the transports about 3/4 of the time, great music server. In terms of A/B I am going to go out on a limb here and say the sound quality of the transport when importing via Apple Loss-Less with error correction selected might just best the sound quality of the played back disk (I'll take my lumps here)at least in my system.

It will be interesting to see what Wadia offers in their soon to be released high-end Dock. The 170i is going to be a real hard act to follow.

I talked to Wadia, They are going to to eliminate the passive outputs, keep the vidio out's and use higher-end discreet components, and lastly, a very nice aluminum remote which you can purchase for around $100. The current offering, the 170i I think will also loose the passive outputs, but include a higher end remote, which again can be purchased for around $30? This remote will again be made of the white plastic, but be oval in shape, much more ergonomic, and substantial. Again you can purchase this remote,I intend too as my teenagers will certainly loose the one I have then I'm hosed. Check the Wadia website as these products should be available very soon.

I'm using a Wadia i170 transport coupled with a MF V-Dac
with great results. It sounds as good as my Oppo 970 CD player. The only problem I'm having is that it locks up my Ipod Touch about every two hours. Wadia says send it back to them, I just hate sending components back to the factory.
