WADIA 170iTRANSPORT

Introducing the first iPod dock with digital output

The Wadia 170iTransport turns your iPod into a high-performance audio source, and it ouputs DVD-quality video, too.

• The first and only iPod component to offer native digital audio output
• Also features high-resolution component video and S-Video output, plus analog audio outputs
• Precision-engineered aluminum chassis
• True audiophile sound quality and superior video performance
• Infrared remote control, coaxial digital cable, and docking inserts are included

The Wadia iTransport (which is certified Made for iPod®) turns any currently available iPod player into a high-end media server by providing a bit-perfect digital audio output to your audio/video system, bypassing the player’s internal D/A conversion and output stage. The audio signal remains pure, providing CD-quality resolution from full-resolution file formats such as .WAV and .m4a (Apple® Lossless).

This revolutionary product is a bridge between the convenience of an iPod and the high-end capabilities of today’s advanced audio systems. Previously, the goal of having an iPod act as a true high-end media server had been hampered by the need to send the digital signal through the iPod’s D/A converter rather than that of a high-performance audio system. The engineers at Wadia fixed this problem by designing the iTransport to bypass the player’s converter and output stage altogether. The result is absolutely sensational sound — when used with an iTransport, the iPod becomes a digital music source equal to some of the finest sounding transports in the high-end audio market.

Along with turning an iPod into a high-performance audio server, iTransport is one of the first such products to access video content stored on currently available iPods. Similar to the audio section, the video signal is made available via high-performance component outputs that provide up to DVD-quality video.

The iTransport measures 2” x 8” x 8” (H/W/D), which fits easily into most racks and entertainment centers. Wadia incorporates a bit-perfect S/PDIF digital audio output and high-resolution component digital video output, as well as analog audio and video outputs for easy connection with most audio/video systems. iPod players are charged while in the dock, and can be operated via Apple’s standard IR remote control (not included with iTransport).

The iTransport is compatible with all currently available (Q1 2008) iPod players, as well as iPhone® and iPod Touch® models. Please note: The Video Outputs on the 170iTransport act as a high-performance pass-through from the iPod. At this time the iPod does not output its Graphical User Interface Menu, meaning you will not be able to see iPod menus on your television monitor.
