I posted a similar thread in the source but I haven't got any answer yet. Since Ken carries both, I was wondering if he knows if the 5.5G iMod is compatible with the Wadia iTransport.

Thanks! |

The iMod will just work as a HDD transport when docked onto the iTransport, meaning the mod(iMod) done to the ipod is renderred useless, so you would get the same results if you were to dock a normal 5G ipod. As for the analog path, I have not tried them though. Maybe when I have the trime, I will try to measure the DC offset from the iTransport analog out when my iMod is docked. |

One more think, like Darkkopi is asking, do we need a portable VCAP in that type of configuration : IMod + iTransport + DAC + headphone amp? |
