WADIA - iTRANSPORT BLACK Digital iPod Dock


The iPod Accessory We’ve All Been Waiting For…
The Wadia iTransport Outputs the Actual Digital Files from Your iPod!

The new 170 iTransport from Wadia Digital turns your iPod into an audiophile music server! The iTransport is the world’s first iPod dock to retrieve a direct digital signal from an iPod. As a result, the audio signal remains pure and unadulterated, providing better than CD-quality resolution from full-resolution file formats such as .WAV and Apple Lossless (.m4a). Every true music lover owes it to themselves, their music collection and their system to check this out!

All the customers who have tired the iTransport say the same thing: They are exploring their vast catalog of music with this amazing product more than ever before. What a great compliment to Wadia!

Note: This product is ONLY available for sale and shipment within the USA.

The iTransport turns any currently available iPod player into a high-end media server by providing a bit-perfect digital audio output to an audio/video system, bypassing the player’s internal digital-to-analog conversion (DAC) and analog output stage. Subsequently, the audio signal remains clean and unadulterated throughout the path, outputting a “bit-perfect” digital stream. The iTransport is compatible with:

  • All Current iPods
  • All iPod Nano Models
  • The iPod Classic Models
  • iPod Video Generation 5 (Limited Functionality)
  • Also the New iPod Touch/iPhone Models

NOTE: All iPod Video models will not have the use of the click wheel while docked. To ensure compatibility, please make sure your iPod has received all software updates. Just a quick connection to iTunes will ensure the most recent update is installed.

 “The Wadia iTransport is the coolest product I’ve encountered in some time. If you own an iPod and a high-end system, the iTransport is essential!”- Robert Harley, The Absolute Sound, November 2008

“The iTransport let me hear every detail as readily as did playing [a disc] on the [$6200] Simaudio SuperNova. If there was a difference between the original CD and the digital output of the iTransport, I never heard it!”

Wes Phillips, Stereophile, Class-A Rating, October 2008

“This is a brilliant product! One that finally lets the iPod be all that it can and should be. It took the imagination and know-how of a firm like Wadia to pull this concept off. The real genius of the iTransport is that it lets you pull digital audio straight off the iPod and route them to a superior-sounding outboard DAC. You’ll have an audio player that not only rivals (but in some cases handily outperforms) multi-thousand-dollar music servers and CD players!”
- Chris Martens, Playback Magazine, August 2008

“Until now, there has been no real bridge between the convenience of an iPod and the high-end audio listening experience,” commented John W. Schaffer, President, Wadia Digital “The goal of making the player a true high-end media server has been hampered by the need to send the digital signal through a portable player’s D/A converter rather than that of a high performance audio system. We designed iTransport to bypass the player’s converter and output stage altogether. 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 docks 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 Wadia 170 iTransport measures 2” x 8” x 8” (H/W/D), making it an easy addition to most racks and entertainment centers. Wadia incorporates a bit-perfect S/PDIF digital output and high-resolution component digital video output, as well as analog audio and video outputs for easy connection with most audio/video systems. Your iPod will be charged while in the dock and the iTransport comes complete with a remote to control all iPod functions.

“I can tell you this much, it sounds fantastic! The dream of the iPod being a true audiophile component has now been realized and the sound quality is limited only by the DAC you own….the iPod through the 170 [iTransport] fooled a lot of people at my place into thinking they were listening to a five figure player!”
– Jeff Dorgay, Tone Audio, Vol #14 2008 (pp. 134-136)
