Upgrading Wadia 170i IDoc to new 171 IPod dock


I have owned for about a year now the first Wadia 170i IPod dock and the $280 ICAudio upgraded power supply and lastly am using the Kimber illuminations D60 cable going to my DAC, which is actually a Cambridge AZURE 840C CD player. my question is has anybody upgraded to the latest 171i IPod dock and was it worth it? My current setup using lossless files sounds pretty good, but not quite as good as a CD. So please, with my current configuration and your experience with the new dock, is it worth the investment - Thanks!

The quality of the power to the chip in the Wadia ultimately comes down to the regs on board. Cleaner supply upstream can only improve so much. Burson regulators are much better and not that expensive, built for DIY, open up the 170i and have a look at the Burson website, $40 is great value DIY.
Naggots, where can I learn how to open the Wadia? Is it something you can explain? I know I can most likely replace the components It's just not clear to me how to open the box - please help, thanks!

I used the Wadia 170 with the full caboodle of musical fidelity x series - dac, psu, 10D, tone through my Muscial Fidelity A1008 integrated amp and it sounded good! Then I got the Krell KID, that used the iPod's dac and it absolutely flogged the Waida and MF set-up, day and night comparison, no contest.
Get the KID!, it already has a remote and it works too.
I have the 170 and never had an issue with it. My kids use there i pods and I use my I phone . I have had people over that are into audio and the can not tell the difference, You have to have a reference dac to bring it all out. When the family is out shopping I will go to pandora put in george gershwin crank it up and be amazed wow Steve
My Wadia 171i won't work with my new iPhone5 and I think I broke the pins on the removable dock. It's a junk.
