Nativ Sound Vita
The one that had QC issues is mentioned everywhere. I hope mine is a better example of the norm. Mine has been rock solid physically. It also sounds great and has more input/output/streaming/and/software options than anything that I know of - plus...

TADAC owners - which best 12au7 tubes?
I bought 1962 Same Dated telefunken smooth here on Audiogon. What I noticed immediately was more pronounced and nuanced bass response. Everything sounds great but without going back and forth between tubes I can't describe the differences beyond t... 
Is Tube Audio TADAC better than MF Tri-Vista DAC ?
true...this is analog. I hadn't noticed. Just found it by searching.... 
Is Tube Audio TADAC better than MF Tri-Vista DAC ?
It ROCKS... and does jazz, classical, and blues quite nicely too! I'm using it with HTbypass option to bypass my Onkyo Pro 885 HT preamp for two channel music from Wadia/Ipod. Very detailed, textured, and LIVE-ly. Good recordings sound like a live... 
Wadia 170iTransport - To mod, or not to mod?
I need to fix something in my last post (and don't see a way to edit). After adding the TADAC, the stereo path is: WADIA/Ipod (not Onkyo) > TADAC > Sunfire TGA-7400 > bi-wired to Salk SongTowers (because TGA-7400 has current source and vo... 
Wadia 170iTransport - To mod, or not to mod?
Wow, the TADAC solved everything I wanted solved in my system.I had Wadia > Onkyo 885 > Sunfire TGA-7400 > Salk SongTowers.I wanted to improve the already great sounding digital path of music in 2 channel audio while keeping it all user f... 
Wadia 170iTransport - To mod, or not to mod?
I made up my mind: TADACI'll let you know how it goes when I get it here and up and running. 
Wadia 170iTransport - To mod, or not to mod?
Several of the people saying that putting clocks inside the Wadia will do nothing are the same people selling clocks to put outside the Wadia. Do these people have a reasonable explanation how a clock inside the Wadia is worthless, but outside is ... 
Review: Wadia 170i Transport Transport
Thanks for the review - I'll be looking in to the Monarchy unit. 
iPod docking station - Belkin vs Wadia vs Arcam
No, you don't need a dock. But, if you want great sound out of an ipod to a good system, the Wadia gives you what the Ipod alone (or the Ipod with other docks)can't. 
Wadia 170i and Benchmark Dac1 - anyone try it?
I have the iTransport and love the sound quality. I use lossless files on an Ipod Classic 160gb. It sounds better than my Sony ES CD player. The bass is fuller when comparing the same tracks back to back. Fascinating since the Wadia is playing the... 
iPod docking station - Belkin vs Wadia vs Arcam
One last note on the iTransport. It sounds better than my Sony ES CD player. The bass is fuller when comparing the same tracks back to back. Fascinating since the Wadia is playing the digital copy of the CD. 
iPod docking station - Belkin vs Wadia vs Arcam
Age of DAC: I'm no expert, but the age should not matter. If the system can create good sound from digital music, then it is ready for the Wadia iTransport....I had a musician in my home recently and he wondered if his Iphone would play live recor... 
iPod docking station - Belkin vs Wadia vs Arcam
Someone said the Krell Kid sounds better than the Wadia. That defies logic and I highly doubt the possibility.The Krell has tone controls to manage the awful sound of the IPOD. Is that supposed to be good? The Wadia bypasses the sound management o...
