Audiophiles are always on the lookout for more perfect sound. Unfortunately, for iPod lovers, this has usually meant settling for digital to analog output conversion on iPod docks. Wadia intends to change that with their new iTransport, which they unveiled recently at CES.
“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, Inc. “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. Instead, 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.”
The iTransport will retail for around $350 when it goes on in February.
