“High-end” and “iPod dock” are seldom combined, but Wadia Digital has made it so with its 170iTransport. This product does what it claims: It turns my iPod into a top-quality stereo component.

This is the first product to offer the iPod’s audio output over S/PDIF coaxial (RCA), DVD quality video via component outputs and all built into a sleek aluminum chassis. For high quality output of the video portion of the content, a component video jack is also included. Not all iPods are supported however, only the iPod nano, the iPod with Video and subsequent models (including the iPod Touch). In black or silver, with remote control and assorted docking inserts. For $379.99, you can get the “high-end� Wadia 170i Transport iPod dock. Check out more details by at Wadia Digital’s site.
