Customer Reviews

Makes the difference
I am using the Wadia 170i connected with its own digital cable to a Polk audio Surround Bar 360 DVD and connected with Audioquest copperhead rca cable to Audioengine A5, the sound of the mp3 at 320 Kbps, are really good in those systems, and the Wadia add a real plus to the sound of the mp3, the sound is clear, transparent and vivid, also you can use the Ipod and a music server.

Sounds great! Not cheap, and has some minor annoyances
This is a unique product. If you want to run your iPod through an external DAC, this is the only game in town.

I have a Trends TA10.1 class T amp and Axiom M3v2 speakers. More >>

Essential equipment for the digital audiophile
The purpose of the Wadia 170i Transport is to bypass the iPod's cheap internal digital-analog converter (DAC) and headphone amplifier, and to extract and deliver a clean digital signal through a standard S/PDIF coaxial cable (included with the 170i). More >>

Wadia 170i Transport: Love it.
This product does what it claims: It turns my iPod into a top-quality stereo component. I listen to music at bedtime on system that costs about $5,000 including a Creek Amplifier, AR speakers, a Rega Planet CD player and a Chroma HDCD DA convertor. More >>
