wadia 170 i transport- need help

The Wadia does not have a DAC built in. It bypasses the internal DAC in your IPod allowing you to use a higher grade external DAC. Personally, I use a Jolida glass FX tube DAC which I have had great results with. There are so many great DACs out there though. The Rega DAC is another great sounding one.

It has both analog and digital outputs. Do the analog outputs serve a different purpose?

I think the analog outputs are tight to the ipod build in dac. Of course people get the Wadia 170 so the can bypass the ipod dac and use an outboard better dac.My 170i is being collecting dust as of two years ago,I went with the mac mini server.
