Wadia 171i Transport
There are hundreds of iPod docs and speaker systems, but most of those systems don’t deliver all the audio quality your music deserves. The 171i Transport give you pure bit-perfect digital output from your portable device, making your iPod or iPhone sound better than you ever imagined. The deceptively simple 171i bypasses the digital to analog conversion and analog output stage from your iOS device so you’re music is not restricted by the iPod’s own audio processing. The unit includes improved clocking to reduce jitter and sports an optical digital output for A/V receivers or advanced DACs.

The SL300 model is the top of the line from Soul by Ludacris. They feature advanced drivers and circuitry for a balanced presentation with active noise cancellation so the world around you doesn’t intrude on your music. The gold-platted connectors ensure a perfect connection between you headphones and your iPod.
