The Wadia iTransport has quickly become our all-time, best-selling product for many reasons. First, it’s the only product that gives you access to the original digital signal within your iPod so it can be run into an outboard DAC. This gives you the opportunity to experience a tremendous sonic benefit over the DAC that resides inside your iPod. Even MP3 files will sound substantially better with the iTransport! But those of you using Apple Lossless Encoding or .WAV files can actually get better sound than playing the original CD itself. The hard drive in your iPod doesn’t create jitter like a CD player does. (See Robert Harley’s review from the November 2008 issue of The Absolute Sound)
Secondly, so many of our customers have reported to using their iPod to program special “play-lists” in iTunes. Some are using these play-lists filed with their favorite, best sounding songs to use in the auditioning process of new gear, to tweak their speaker positions, or to show off the sound of their system to visitors. They are having so much fun making these play-lists: one for late night, one for working out, one for pure sonic spectaculars, one for romantic situations… the list goes on and on! All of this can now be done without any compromise in sound quality.
Third, many customers are using their iPods to get reacquainted with many of the discs that sit for years on their racks or in drawers, helping them to rediscover the many hidden gems they rarely, if ever, reach for. What’s the point of owning so much music if you never listen to it? An iPod into the Wadia iTransport not only gets you in touch with a much wider selection of music, its sound quality (through a good DAC) is 100% Audiophile Approved!
Lastly, the iPod is the world’s #1 portable music player, so owning a high-end system for your iPod is just like having a high-end music server in your main system. It’s never been easier to play such a wide variety of music, without finding and loading dozens (if not hundreds) of CDs. You can make special playlists by genre or artist, make long play-lists for parties so you never need to worry about the music and enjoy entertaining, or even compare different versions of CDs to decide which version sounds better without even getting out of your listening chair! The uses for the Wadia iTransport are endless…
Music Direct has dozens of specially priced complete iTransport packages so you can literally just plug in your iPod and start experimenting a few minutes after opening the boxes. Feel free to read about some of these packages or call any one of our audio consultants to get started. The iTransport is now available in both Black and Silver finish, so you can mate this system with whatever gear you already own.
