121 Decoding Computer DAC: Wadia’s Newest Digital Statement

The New Standard in Digital-To-Analog Conversion for Under $2,000

In addition to their reference-level $20,000+ digital players, Wadia has been altering the audio landscape for audiophiles over the last few years. Their revolutionary iTransport unleashed the digital signal from the iPod, changing the perception of the device completely. In development for the last three years, this new Digital-to-Analog converter (with high-end built-in preamplifier and headphone amplifier) is worlds ahead of anything else at this price. This tool is one you’ll need to audition for yourself to understand the magical sound possessed by the Wadia 121.

"The Wadia 121 Decoding Computer is recommended for readers putting together high performing yet sensible systems or looking to take an existing system to another level. New computer audiophiles seeking their first entry into this wonderful next phase of high-end audio can’t go wrong by starting with the 121. They may never need another digital to analog converter."
– Chris Connaker, Computer Audiophile
