DIGITAL

Wadia Digital Corporation was founded in 1988, making it one of the oldest digital audio companies in existence. Wadia was formed by a group of engineers from the

based 3M Corporation (Minnesota Mining and Manufacturing) who had compiled many

years of experience in advanced digital and telecommunications research and development.

Minneapolis-

In the early

1980’s,

this group had become intrigued by the emerging CD technology.

Disappointed by the sound of early CD players, they examined the designs and found them

to be unsophisticated compared with the technology available in other areas of digital design.

In response, they founded Wadia Digital

a company based on the philosophy of applying

advanced technology to improve the performance of digital home entertainment equipment.

Wadia’s first product, the Wadia 2000 Decoding Computer, was a breakthrough.

For many listeners, it proved the viability of Compact Disc as a musically involving format.

Ever since, Wadia has continued to develop on the original technology

refining, listening

and improving along the way. Since the Wadia 2000, new generations of even higher

performance designs have been introduced. Each step of the way, Wadia has raised

the standard for performance of CD playback.

Here is an abbreviated list of the technological innovations the Wadia engineers have pioneered over the past

First outboard Digital-to-Analog converter

DigiMaster patented algorithm (filter optimized for reproducing music)

First company to apply glass fiber-optics to home audio

First company to recognize jitter as a source of audible distortion

First to perfect digital volume control

First high-end CD player competitive with expensive separates

Clocklink proprietary jitter reduction technology

years:

Although Wadia’s digital expertise and track record exceed those of any 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.

Now past our tenth year, Wadia continues to redefine the limits of digital music playback. We are proud to introduce the Wadia 830 - a breakthrough in sonic performance and a strong statement of our years of dedication to music.
