Wadia iTransport iPod Dock
The Wadia iTransport is the first ever component specifically designed to transform your iPod into a high-resolution audio/video media server. The iTransport combines the convenience of personal audio with the performance and connectivity of your home audio/video system, delivering bit-perfect digital audio signal via S/PDIF coaxial (RCA) output, DVD quality video via component outputs, and built on a sleek aluminum chassis.
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 solved this problem by designing the iTransport to bypass the player’s converter and output stage altogether. The result is absolutely sensational sound!

“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
“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
“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
“I can tell you this much, the iTransport 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
"The iTransport’s slightly-better-than-CD sound quality is a bonus; the real reason to buy the iTransport is that it turns your iPod (which you probably already own) into a music server worthy of feeding a high-end system. Anyone who’s used the iPod knows how much easier it is to access music using the click-wheel than finding the CD and inserting it in a player. It equates to more time listening and less time looking through racks of jewel boxes.
The Wadia iTransport is the coolest product I’ve encountered in some time. If you own an iPod, an outboard DAC, and a high-end system, the iTransport is, at $379, essential." - Robert Harley, AV Guide
