入手期待已久的WADIA 170 itransport
为了170i的到来破费又入了ipod Touch 2 16G
还未入音箱（暂用改为无源的惠威M200）
DAC使用乐之邦长征II过渡（AMP升级后再考虑）
AMP使用八达211SE过渡
之所以选择IT2+170i方案是由于不喜欢CD（SACD）要转的东东（也就是带Spindle），就连HD-CAM都是内置32G+32G卡了，当时及其想入160G的ipod Classic，再3考虑还是选择了完全不转的。
初听起来确实不错（木耳，仅供参考）：
1、声音大了不少，长时间听只能开到7:30位置（ipod上的音量控制键、遥控板上的音量控制键均无用，只能调节AMP音量）
2、感觉有“3D效果”（不知如何描述，也许就是TX们说的空间感）
3、音域扩展了，Both高频和低频部分
4、……语文不好不知如何描述
有专辑界面还是挺不错的
客厅占不到，只能蜷缩在PC旁啊
WADIA 170 itransport 的最大也是唯一优势就是
Bit perfect，也就是号称可以直接从WAV和Apple Lossless文件直接输出S/P-DIF的数字格式
完美输出，这点可以从不能控制音量和音量很大看出
The new 170 iTransport from Wadia Digital turns your iPod into an audiophile music server!（高品质音乐服务器） The iTransport is the world’s first iPod dock to retrieve a direct digital signal from an iPod（世界上第一款可以从ipod中直接输出数字信号的底座）. As a result, the audio signal remains pure and unadulterated, providing better than CD-quality resolution（优于CD音质） 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!

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 Also the New iPod Touch/iPhone Models
To ensure compatibility, please make sure your iPod has received all software updates before docking it with the iTransport
“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, theiPod 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 fooled a lot of people at my place into thinking they were listening to a five figure player!”
