Levy03,All digital connections in my Home Theater system are Canare. The Canare cables these days are about $48.00 per meter and are all copper, 75Ohm coax configuration with excellent true 75Ohm connections. The cable I'm using now only slightly ... 
Very slight "Hiss"
Thanks to those who explained the nature of electronics and the fact that what I observed regarding "hiss" is normal.Rpg 
Very slight "Hiss"
I get the message - OCD!! I mean, my sweet-spot is 15' away, I cant hear the hiss there, but I was wondering if it should be silent. The source component is a Krell KAV 400xi.ThanksRpg

Lev,Found a Digital IC that goes against the grain of everything I know about Digital IC's. The cable is made by Harmonic Technology. From the spec's and configuration it should sound terrible, however, this cable blew me away, I have never heard ...

Though somewhere out there is a better combination of cables than what I have finally settled with, you could spend a lifetime and crazy amounts of $$ in your quest. I have finally settled on the Audioquest NRG 1 power cable (you MUST upgrade the ...

Ben,With Pandora on my Ipod, I use the coaxial output on the Wadia to my D/A converter and it sounds great. By the way, the Wadia does not have an optical out. I hope this helps. It sounds based on some of your questions you may not have purchased...

High Res files are not yet available through ITunes, however I heard they are thinking about it. To load high res files you must use a CD and import it, selecting a high res option. I highly suggest in your import settings you select Apple LossLes...

I have an IPod touch, I just loaded the free application "PANDORA", it's completely free for download from the ITunes store, and yes, it works great. For the app to work, of course, your IPod must have an interconnect connection. I'm delighted you...

Dear Ben,I'm not sure, but I believe if you contact a dealer, they should be able to answer your questions. If you go to the Wadia home page I think there is a link for a dealer locater.Good luck and happy listening.Rpg

Markeetaux, I have never encountered the problem you described. If you still have the time, can you return it to your place of purchase for an exchange?Mcondon, one area of performance where the iTransport is very sensitive is the interface cable,...

I talked to Wadia, They are going to to eliminate the passive outputs, keep the vidio out's and use higher-end discreet components, and lastly, a very nice aluminum remote which you can purchase for around $100. The current offering, the 170i I th...

It will be interesting to see what Wadia offers in their soon to be released high-end Dock. The 170i is going to be a real hard act to follow.

Levy03, congratulations! I find myself using the transports about 3/4 of the time, great music server. In terms of A/B I am going to go out on a limb here and say the sound quality of the transport when importing via Apple Loss-Less with error cor...

One last thing worth mentioning about the transports sound quality. It can sound better than your source CD depending on it's condition. I have a well recorded artist but about half way through the disk I get an almost static like noise, the disk ...

Perhaps the next generation of the Wadia dock will have improved performance in the area of jitter. One noteworthy comment I received from Wadia about this first generation Dock, is that though measured performance is important, the technician sai...
