NEW Wadia 171iTransport

[admin_exported]

I was on Wadia's web site and this was a link to a press release about the new Wadia 171iTransport

The all-new 151PowerDac mini is designed to complement the hugely successful 170iTransport and the NEW 171iTransport. The 151PowerDac mini combines a sophisticated digital-to-analog converter and a 50Wpc (at 4 ohms) power amplifier into the series 1 all aluminum case. The 151PowerDac mini when combined with a 170iTransport or 171iTransport create the heart of an audiophile level mini system.

The new 171iTransport is the industry’s first certified “Works with iPhone” dock to offer pure, bit-perfect digital output, allowing the revered smartphone to perform as a high-end media server. Better performance has been achieved thanks to improved power supply components and a step-up in the audiophile grade connectors used. A new feature-rich infrared remote control allows convenient navigation through Playlists and Albums. “Our new 171iTransport does the neat trick of turning both the iPhone and the iPod into the ultimate media server.” says John Schaffer, President, Wadia Digital.

I wonder whether 170i owners will be able to upgrade ?

I always thought the Wadia 170 iTransport was popular, but obviously not, I will keep an eye open myself and keep you informed.
