170i – “The iPod just hit hi-fi”
Alan Sircom: HI-FI+
October 2008
“…170i adds audiophile legitimacy to the iPod, pure and simple.”
“In some respects, the sound of a CD is inferior to the sound of a CD ripped into AIFF and played back on the iPod through this device (170iTransport). There’s a degree of temporal robustness and solidity that CD can lack in direct comparison…”
“…the Wadia (170iTransport) makes a simple, non-disruptive method of crossing the great musical divide. No, it probably won’t make you cast off that CD player tomorrow but it will mean you will never have to feed the hi-fi system at a party again.”
