Review: Krell Kid iPod Player
You can't tell from the pic that it's been modded. The upgrade co sticker is on the back. I would have to take pics of the inside and compare to the stock.

NHT XD's well built?
I have a bought an xd system with dual subs about 6 months ago and love them. A month ago i chipped both of my base plates on my xd speaker and called nht and they shipped me new plates for small fee. Very good service 
Has anyone listen to the new wadia 381
I really want to know if it is better than the wadia 861 since both only play cd.

Wadia 170iTransport - To mod, or not to mod?
Bombaywalla it sounds like from what your said, the best way to improve the sound/jitter of the wadia i170 is to use a good outboard clock. I know empricial audio has one called pace car 2 very good reviews, i think it can cost as much as 2,000 if... 
Wadia 170iTransport - To mod, or not to mod?
Noshortcuts your right the couple of people that i have talked to in the mod and audio business tell me that clocks will not work inside of the wadia. Then turn around and try to sell me their outboard jitter device that has a clock in it, go figure.
