Wadia 170iTransport (Black): $379

The 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.

When the iPod docks with iTransport, the iPod transforms into an audiophile-grade media server that rivals some of the top performing digital source components available. Experience the iTransport for yourself at a Wadia dealer nearest you.

Experience true audiophile sound quality and superior video performance by integrating the iPod into your home Audio and Video system.

Built on a precision-engineered aluminum chassis, the 170iTransport is the first and only iPod component to offer native digital audio output, high-resolution component and S-Video output, and analogue outputs.

Infrared remote control, coaxial digital cable, and docking inserts are included.

Advantages of Digital Audio
Digital audio signals can be processed without the additive losses and distortion found in analog processing. This loss of resolution is caused by analog circuitry and connectors in a signal path. The 170iTransport bypasses the digital to analog conversion and analog output stage from the iPod. By providing a pure digital audio output from your iPod, the 170iTransport enables performance that is only limited by the resolution of the audio files stored on your iPod, and the overall quality of your audio system. In other words, the 170iTransport makes it possible to achieve true audiophile performance from your iPod.

Made for iPod

The Wadia 170iTransport is certified by Apple as "Made for iPod".

Made for

iPod touch (1st and 2nd generation)

iPod classic (80GB, 120GB, 160GB)

iPod with Video, also known as 5th generation (30GB, 60GB 80GB) Extended Interface*

iPod nano (4th generation)

iPod nano (3rd generation)

iPod nano (2nd generation)

iPod nano (1st generation) Extended Interface*

*Extended Interface

iPod nano G1 and iPod video will automatically enter the “extended interface” mode when docked in the

170iTransport; the Wadia Logo will display on the iPod screen indicating digital audio output is now available. While in the “extended interface” mode there is no control of the iPod from the click wheel interface. If you choose (queue a selection) before inserting the iPod into the 170iTransport, the 170iTransport will continue to play your selection until it is complete. If there was no previous selection, the 170iTransport will play the entire content of the iPod in the “All Tracks” order. The 170iTransport will not manipulate the shuffle setting. Whatever shuffle setting the user has chosen before connecting the iPod will be honored by the 170iTransport. The Wadia Logo will be present on the screen of the nano G1 or iPod video the entire time the iPod is docked in the 170iTransport and the digital signal is synced.

Wadia 151PowerDac Mini (Black): $1195

To complement the hugely successful 170iTransport, Wadia has developed new technologies that enable us to once again bring simplicity and elegance to a new and dramatically more affordable Wadia decoding product – the Wadia 151PowerDAC mini. The Wadia 151 takes all of the conceptual purity of the original Reference PowerDAC™ and reduces these elements to their most cost effective form.

The Wadia 151PowerDAC mini is a high performance DAC and surprisingly powerful amp combined into the series 1 chassis. The 151PowerDAC mini measures 2”x 8”x 8” (H x W x D) which is the same size as the 170iTransport; making it an ideal audio solution for modern living and work spaces. You can use an existing CD/DVD player with a digital coax or Toslink output, your computer with USB or perhaps the Wadia 170iTransport. Add a pair of your favorite speakers to the 151PowerDAC mini for a complete music system.

The Wadia 151PowerDAC is a high performance DAC with gain, which provides four selectable digital audio inputs (one USB, one TOSLINK, and two coax S/PDIF). Power output is conservatively rated at 25 WPC into 8 Ohms and 50 WPC in 4 Ohms.

The PowerDAC mini uses the proprietary Wadia DigiMaster reconstruction filters just like Wadia’s original, Reference PowerDAC. The 151 uses spline interpolation to raise digital audio data rates to 384kHz for high performance conversion.

The 151 will include a metal remote that can also control the 170iTransport.

The only thing that is small about the 151PowerDAC mini’s is its size.
