Cambridge Audio ID-10

Cambridge Audio has taken its four decades of hi-fi experience and applied it to iPod™ docking stations which guarantee to extract every last drop of performance from your iPod.

Cambridge Audio's iD10 iPod docking station enables you to get the most from your iPod by both allowing you to charge it and play music through your home stereo system. Designed to fit most Apple iPods, the smart silver finish looks good with black, white or even the new "Classic" silver iPods.

Coming complete with a remote sensor, the ID10 is remote controllable via an optional remote or many iPod compatible handsets including Cambridge's own Azur Navigator series supplied with most Cambridge Stereo Amplifiers and CD Players. A 3.5mm socket allows for quick and easy connection to a full range of hi-fi components.

Krell KID and PAPA DOCK

The Papa/KID combination is the world's ultimate iPod Dock. It includes an amp capable of delivering 150 watts of Krell power. There's also the physically isolated left and right channels with a discrete, direct-coupled topology design.

The Papa's speaker connection uses WBT hardware that can handle spades, banana and bare-wire speaker cables. 

The KID portion of the system, which can also be used as a stand-alone dock, can be viewed as an iPod preamplifier that optically isolates the digital circuitry to facilitate signal transmission through Krell’s 256-step volume control. 

To couple the KID's connection to the Papa Dock, Krell uses a balanced circuit with a customized connecting link to feed its output stages to ensure complete signal integrity. The combination also includes:

• Composite and S-video outputs

• RS-232 port

•A 12-volt trigger

Wadia 170i

The iTransport is certified "Made for iPod®" turns any currently available iPod player into a high-end media server by providing a bit-perfect digital audio output to an audio/video system, bypassing the player's internal D/A conversion and output stage. Subsequently, the audio signal remains clean and unadulterated throughout the path. 

Wadia Digital, a high-end audio company dedicated to the development of digital audio technologies, is demonstrating the market's first digital player dock to retrieve a direct digital signal from an iPod®. As a result, the audio signal remains pure and unadulterated, providing CD-quality resolution from full-resolution file formats such as .WAV and .m4a (Apple® Lossless).

The iTransport is compatible with all currently available  iPod players, as well as iPhone® and iPod Touch® models.

"Until now, there has been no real bridge between the convenience of an iPod and the high-end audio listening experience," - John W. Schaffer, President, Wadia Digital, Inc. "The goal of making the player a true high-end media server has been hampered by the need to send the digital signal through a portable player's D/A converter rather than that of a high performance audio system.

"Instead, we designed iTransport to bypass the player's converter and output stage altogether. When used with an iTransport, the iPod becomes a digital music source equal to some of the finest sounding transports in the high-end audio market."
