Wadia 170iTransport

The Wadia 170iTransport is an iPod dock cited as being the first to bypass the iPod’s built-in digital-to-analog (DAC) converter. This allows users to pass music signals digitally to an audio/video receiver, outboard DAC, or other high-quality components for richer & enhanced sound quality. Plus, the 170iTranposrt is compatible with nearly every recent type of docking iPod, including the iPod classic, the iPod Nano, and the second-generation of the iPod Touch. Additional features of the Wadia 170iTranport include a powder-coated cast aluminum chassis, an infrared remote control, and a plethora of outputs, including high-resolution component video, S-Video, coaxial digital, and analog audio. The Wadia 170iTransport retails for $379.00 and comes with a 1 year limited warranty.
