Our modified Wadia 171i is an iPod dock like no other. When hooked up to a high quality D-A Converter the sound quality is truly stunning. Let me quantify that...with lossless files the fully optimised 171i is on par with high-end optical CD transports. You would have to spend substantially more than the cost of the modified Wadia dock on an optical transport to make any substantial gains in sound quality.

We are offering two modified versions of the 171i, the 171i Reference & 171i Signature.

In addition to the modified 171i, we are offering the option of the TeddyDock linear power supply which utilizes the SuperTeddyReg. The TeddyDock differs from the regular linear supplies designed for the audio market because it does not use the industry standard LM317 to provide the 12V regulated DC power. The regulation in the TeddyDock utilises the discrete SuperTeddyReg which provides a theoretical ripple rejection of more than 120db over the entire audible spectrum and above 1MHz. Noise levels are extremely low, with approx. 57db noise between 1-20 KHz, that’s more than 1000 times quieter than the Wall-Wart power supply.
