Wadia ITransport

Just purchased Wadia IPod dock for use with my IPod Touch. I am using Canare 75ohm cable as an interface with my Cambridge 840C AZURE CD player. Reading reviews about the IDock and importing Apple Lossless files, I noticed a difference (small)but noteworthy, where the Dock seems a bit compressed and lacking the resolution and dynamics when compared to the CD. I'm not quite sure, but I thought I remembered with lossless files, the Dock could actually sound better than the CD.

Thank you, I look forward to your thoughts and comments.

@rpg
thank you for your comment.
My post was just an alert for people with non oversampling dacs without jitter reducing circuits. itransport is not for them!
There is a big discussion about jitter all around the net. There are many people who prefer transports without a lot of jitter instead of using the dac or reclocker to eliminate it.
thanks

wadia itransport is a bitperfect transport with high levels of jitter.
with a dac capable of eliminating it the results are equal to a good cd.
but always the high levels of incoming jitter affects the sound quality in even the best dacs.
I have a nonos dac that is very sensitive to jitter and I am not happy with itransport. I can easily hear the difference between the wadia and my esoteric transport. I have order a m2tech hiface for a direct comparison.
