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.
<b>A small revolution...</b>
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.
<b>Advantages of Digital Audio</b>
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.
<b>Compatibility</b>
The Wadia 170iTransport is certified by Apple as "Made for iPod".
These models will have full functionality:
iTouch (1st-4th generation)
iPod classic (80GB, 120GB, 160GB)
iPod nano (2nd - 6th generation)
These models will have limited functionality:
iPod nano (1st generation) Extended Interface*
iPod with Video, also known as 5th generation (30GB, 60GB 80GB) 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.
