why do peple think ipods are just for bkgrd music

The ipod will be how we listen to music not just for background but for critical listening. They will be transports for the ipod like the msb ilink 2,200. It is a true transport that deals with the jitter just like the cd transport. Now you have ipod docks like the wadia 170 all it does is bypass the ipods dac. I would use the wadia 170 dock as background music. Iam not knocking the wadia but its not a ipod transport.

the ipod itself as is using its dacs is not that good in a hifi system. Iam talking about using a ipod transport bypassing the ipods dac and using an external dac processor,Like the wadia 170 or the msb ilink. Transfer your cd collection via apple lossless and then tranfer to your ipod. Use the wadia or msb as your i pod transport.

brianmgrarcom iam not knocking the wadia 170 itransport just the opposite. I think that this is the furture and the cd transport will be the past. Yes the msb bypasses the ipod dac but it all so address the jitter. Just like the cd transport their are transports that are better than others. I have not yet listen to the wadia 170 yet, i have one on order at musicdirect when its out. Yes i think some dac address jitter and some do it better.
