Wadia Digital – The Digital Audio Legend
Wadia was at the forefront of high-end digital audio playback. From 1988 Wadia was the biggest driving force in digital audio and they have made sublime DACs, Transports and CD players up until it was no longer economically sustainable. In 2013, following several other brands, Wadia stopped the production of CD players and transports. While I understand this decision, this also sadly marks the end of an era.
This section was created to honor the brand and to provide info for all who value the brand as much as I do.
There is a separate page detailing the Wadia History. Below is an overview of all the fantastic Wadia products up until now.
