Wadia Digital – a Brief History Wadia Digital, founded in 1988, is one of the original companies dedicated to high performance digital audio reproduction. Wadia was formed by a team of engineers from the Minneapolis based 3M Corporation (Minnesota Mining and Manufacturing) who shared many years of experience in advanced digital telecommunications research and development. In the early 1980’s, these engineers became intrigued by the emerging compact disc technology. Disappointed with the sound qu

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, an

Optimizing Preformance For optimum sonic performance when using iPod we highly recommend that you store music at the highest bit rate you can justify. Storing music files at higher bit rates will require substantially more storage space on your computer and iPod, however, the sonic improvement is self evident. The highest available quality is achieved by importing music into iTunes as WAV files. WAV files are full resolution files equal to the original master source. Another good option for stor

Installing Battery in Remote Control The Wadia 170iTransport remote control will ship with the required battery preinstalled. However, you will need to remove the clear plastic insert tab from the battery to allow operation of the remote. Connecting to AC Power Check to make sure that the power cord shipped with your Wadia 170iTransport has been manufactured for operation at your AC line voltage. Damage caused by improper operation is not covered by Wadia warranty. If the included cable and wal

Connections Avoid static discharge to the inputs or outputs. To prevent static shocks, touch any grounded surface, such as the chassis of any component that uses a grounded 3-prong plug, before connecting or removing a cable. It is unlikely that a static discharge will damage the unit, but it may cause the Wadia 170iTransport circuitry to “lock-up” (see Lock-Up under Trouble Shooting in Appendices). Choosing a Digital Cable The Wadia 170iTransport uses a Coaxial S/PDIF Connection with an RCA con

iPod Functionality The Wadia 170iTransport supports the following iPod models. Each model has its own characteristics which affect the 170iTransport. iPod nano G1* will only output digital audio while in the “extended interface” mode. This means that the iPod click wheel interface is not available while attached to the 170iTransport and listening to digital audio out. iPod nano G2 will allow digital audio out while still allowing the iPod click wheel interface to function normally. iPod nano G3

Using the Analog Outputs The Wadia 170iTransport cannot output digital and analog audio simultaneously. Therefore, to use the analog outputs you will have to activate them. To do this, first insert the iPod into the Wadia 170iTransport. You will have to use the mode button on the remote. When you press the mode button, the digital output is disabled and the analog outputs will become active. Each time the iPod is docked, the Wadia 170iTransport will automatically select the digital output as a d
