Full Resolution Digital Output From
iPod® Players!
Wadia Digital Debuts The iTransport
 $379

iTransport Delivers Bit-Perfect Digital Audio
From Files Stored on All Currently Available iPod® Players
Wadia Digital, a high-end audio company dedicated to the development of digital audio
technologies, delivers the market's first digital player dock to retrieve a direct digital
signal from an iPod®. As a result, the audio signal remains pure and unadulterated,
providing CD-quality resolution
from full-resolution file formats such as .WAV and .m4a (Apple® Lossless).
The iTransport ($379), which is certified Made for iPod®, turns any currently available
iPod player into a high-end media server by providing a bit-perfect digital audio output
to an audio/video system, bypassing the player's internal D/A conversion and output
stage. Subsequently, the audio signal remains clean and unadulterated throughout the
path. The iTransport is compatible with all currently available (Q1 2008) iPod players, as
well as iPhone® and iPod Touch® models.

"Until now, there has been no real bridge between the convenience of an iPod and the
high-end audio listening experience," commented John W. Schaffer, President, Wadia
Digital, Inc. "The goal of making the player a true high-end media server has been
hampered by the need to send the digital signal through a portable player's D/A
converter rather than that of a high performance audio system.
"Instead, we designed iTransport to bypass the player's converter and output stage
altogether. When used with an iTransport, the iPod becomes a digital music source
equal to some of the finest sounding transports in the high-end audio market."
Along with turning an iPod into a high-performance audio server, iTransport is one of
the first such products to access video content stored on currently available iPods.
Similar to the audio section, the video signal is made available via high performance
component outputs that provide up to DVD-quality video.
The iTransport measures 2" x 8" x 8" (H/W/D), making it an easy addition to most
racks and entertainment centers. Wadia incorporates a bit-perfect S/PDIF digital audio
output and high-resolution component digital video output, as well as analog audio and
video outputs for easy connection with most audio/video systems. iPod players are
charged while in the dock, and can be operatedvia Apple's standard IR remote control.
