New! Wadia Series 9

Wadia Series 9

In designing the series 9 Decoding Computer system, Wadia has created the new standard. The 922 mono Decoding Computers and the 931 Digital Controller (series 9 Decoding Computer system) present a unique three box architecture of unmatched digital and analog technology. The 922 mono Decoding Computers provide Digital  to Analog conversion and the 931 Digital Controller functions as a digital preamplifier. The series 9 Decoding Computer system is proof positive that Wadia means - best in digital audio reproduction.

Three separate chassis have been machined out of high grade aluminum to create a functional non-ferrous environment that acts as both a shield and a safe haven for precision electronics. The look is powerful and yet refined featuring a jewelry grade finishing process requiring 5 separate steps to perfect. The 9 series Decoding Computer system is built without compromise to have no equal.

The series 9 Decoding Computer system is quite simply the most resolving Wadia ever. Three digital signal processors coupled with our most advanced up-sampling software, DigiMaster™ 1.4, churn out an astounding 2.8224 million  samples per second at a theoretical 26 bits of resolution. DigiMaster allows us to generate this amazing amount of data with accuracy both in the frequency and (particularly) in the time domain. Why is this important? When accuracy in the time domain is achieved the resulting 3-dimensional sonic image leaves you with the uncanny feeling of being there.

Available now for audition at Paragon.
