what is a good time and number to call you
i want a pair connecting my wadia i170 to the grace m902b
i have tried the stock wadia cable, a pair of audioquest vdm-xr and some fancy audio research ones.
frankly, the wadia was darn good and yet the audioquest made a noticeable difference. the darkness of the noise floor was deeper, richer, and immersive. scary what cables could do.
i like to invest in another pair to see if the wadia+grace combo can extend further. or the limits have already been attained.

Which of those dock extender cables did you get. I bought one from CableJive some time back. I wasn't impressed with the quality of the female end of the extender cable. Where did you get yours? The only other maker seems to be 3GJuice. Have you had a good enough experience using the dock extender.
My own Wadia 170i is on the way and I'll be using a 5G iPod with it. I think I'll need one of those extender cables.

Ok. Thanks for that.
I'm seeing conflicting remarks about whether or not I'll be able to play with my 5G iPod classic when connected to the Wadia 170i. I'll see how it all goes.

Just got my Wadi 170i. I'm impressed by the build quality, and it works really well. My only criticism is that it would have been better if the iPod dock had a rear support. In this way, the iPod isn't sticking out as it does from a cheap, easily replaceable docking station once the dock connector gets damaged. Special dock inserts offering vertical support for the ipod would have been great. Now I have to go find one.

aimlink look up the Sendstation extender, it will do what you want. Below is a pick or one in use in an ALO Dock. Good luck!
