Hi Everyone,
Recently, I picked up a NOS Wadia 171 iPod dock and I have to admit, it has been great! I've always wanted one but thought they were a bit pricey when new and simply used my earphone jack and aux cable. I own several iPods and have enjoyed all of them as sources. Now, I know many people feel that using the earphone jack is inferior but it didn't sound bad to my ears. And with the help of a fellow AK member I have a cable that connects through my iPod Classic's 30-pin connector into a line in jack in my Receiver and that was an improvement over the earphone jack. But, now that I'm using my iPod with my Musical Fidelity TriVista tube DAC, it sounds wonderful! Does anyone else use one of these iPod docks? If "yes" what has your experience been using it?
