Should any audio going thru my iPhone be recognized by this dock? LOVE IT.This review page is supported in part by the sponsors whose ad banners are displayed belowĬontext. So, if you still have this machine, and if you can grab this app and try it out that would be the clincher for me.
#DIGI DOCK CLOCK FULL#
And all that full PCM data in my library would sound decadent! This is all great and fine, that is, if I could plug my iPhone into my nightstand dock (iD100?), optical purity into my B&K pre/pro, and to my JM Labs in the corners of my bedroom as I fall asleep to something of an audiophile caliber nature. The other way to do it, and it's like your playlists in a cloud: Remote Server mode will let you play it anywhere you can get a good 3G connection drawing from your comp. Basically it will use either your home router to read your entire iTunes playlists, and they'll show up on your phone! That's the Local Server mode. There's an app I downloaded today for my iPhone 4 called AirPlayIt. My question is, (and undoubtedly the dealbreaker for me): out's and one is a complete piece of cheapness. There's really only about 3 that do this with dig. Thanks for the great review, I've been looking for something like this for awhile. Not quite SACD or reference analog vinyl - but - What's not to like? 99 cents InTune radio app, and stream in great-sounding 128kps music from SKY.FM stations OR the hundreds of other stations around the globe- all coming in crystal-bell clear against silent-backgrounds. This thing is the proverbial no-brainer, and well worth the money.Īdd a DacMagic,(or any other Dac or your choice), an iPod with the. It just plain works, which is something I can't say of quite a few high-end toys that have passed through my home in my many years in this crazy. The id-100 is less expensive - ok no Wadia bragging rights, but this little CAMB-AUDIO gizmo is just a smart, VERY well designed iPod-iPad transport. The Id-100 has status LEDs - no big deal, but with the Wadia, I could never tell if the thing was on or asleep, and of course no switchable charging cycle (available on the iD-100 with the cool remote)- no indication of anything really with the Wadia.ħ. After a few weeks, it became obvious I wasn't going to tolerate this for long.Īfter 1 month of using the id-100 (ok I'm an early adopter) not one single issue, works as a dream BUT - make sure that when you insert the iPod on the dock pins, the iPOD is OFF.Ħ. After checking a few forums (including Wadia's own) I found out I wasn't the only person with this issue. I had issues with the ipod-wadia sync, and could not get to lock-in the signal consistently. Better ''locking in'' performance for the iD-100 - My initial reason for switching in the first place. The iD-100 remote, by comparison, qualifies as such - it is metal, has many features to it (such as switchable recharging mode), has surprising range, looks good and is enjoyable to operate.ĥ. It is cheap, flimsy, can be easily lost, and belongs to a Radio Shack $19.99 FM-radio dock. In all honesty, the Wadia remote is a joke and an insult to the Wadia name - and to the user.
#DIGI DOCK CLOCK PLUS#
Video - not a big plus but still - you can actually connect a tv to this - not an audiophile feature of course.Ĥ. Better connectivity - this deck will pass iPhone and iPad signals, and provide better options.ģ. The Wadia looks kind of clumsy by comparison.Ģ. Nicer design, physically smaller and the iPod is low and centered on it, and the inclination (when inserted) just feels more solid. Why I prefer BY FAR the iD-100, everything considered:ġ. Good sound in all directions from both machines.
Both decks responded nicely to the DacMagic's filters. Well, maybe, maybe not - but in my system, i could not detect the slightest difference in sound quality. I had seen this on a UK forum that apparently the Wadia deck did re-clock incoming 128kps signals for better sound. I find it useless to pinpoint details in sound other than what I have written below - for a good insight, just read-up on the many Wadia 170il writings as the differences are minimal at best. The way I will go about this is to provide a comparison of this dock versus the Wadia 170il as I still had this unit unsold when I received the new Cambridge box, and I did listen to both at length. This is a review of the Cambridge Audio iD-100 digital dock transport.
