History
Wadia was originally founded in 1988, making it one of the first high-end audio
companies dedicated to digital audio. Wadia was formed by a group of
telecommunications engineers from the Minneapolis-based 3M Corporation who were
committed to using advanced digital technology to improve the performance of
digital audio equipment.
Wadia’s first product, the Wadia 2000 Decoding Computer, was a breakthrough. For
many listeners it proved the viability of the Compact Disc as a musically involving
format. Since then Wadia has continued to develop new methods and technology.
Each product resulted in a new standard of performance for digital audio decoding.
Here is an abbreviated list of the technological innovations Wadia engineers have
pioneered:
Patented DigiMaster up-sampling algorithm, optimized for reproducing music
First company to apply glass fiber optics to home audio
Direct-Connect
TM
system to connect digital audio products directly to amplifier
ClockLink
TM
proprietary jitter-reduction technology
Swift-Current
TM
zero-feedback current to voltage converter
Although Wadia’s digital expertise and track record exceed those of any other audio
company, 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 9 Series Decoding Computer System, a
breakthrough in sonic performance and a strong statement of our years of dedication
to music.
