Wadia’s digital expertise and record of accomplishment exceed those
of any audio company, but technology alone does not guarantee
musical performance. Wadia designs are born of a delicate balance
of technology shaped by a passion for music.
Wadia is proud to introduce the Wadia 301 CD Player, a breakthrough
in sonic performance and value, and a strong evidence of our
dedication to music reproduction.
Wadia 301 CD Design Philosophy
The Wadia 301 Compact Disc player is the first of Wadia’s new 3
series, a range of products that set a new standard for performance,
aesthetics, and value. The Wadia 301 CD has received the benefit of
over 12 years and thousands of hours of development that have
resulted in the Wadia legacy. Viewed this way, the Wadia 301 CD is
one of the most outstanding values in the world of high-end music
reproduction.
Wadia Digital Volume Control with Direct-Connect™
The Digital Volume Control and Direct-Connect circuitry perform the
functions of a preamplifier while the signal is in the digital domain. This
allows the Wadia 301 CD to be connected directly to your power
amplifier, bypassing the losses inherent in conventional preamplifiers.
New in the Wadia 301 CD is the ability to optimize the output level to
match your system by setting switches on the Wadia 301 CD rear
panel.
DigiMaster™ Upsampling System
Wadia’s DigiMaster is a patented digital upsampling system designed
to extract maximum musical realism and detail from digital audio. In
the Wadia 301 CD, Wadia introduces the latest version of DigiMaster,
with the best cost/performance ratio of any DigiMaster system to date.
In addition, this new version of DigiMaster accepts 96kHz signals and
upsamples incoming signals to 705.6 kHz or 768 kHz.
