At Wadia we do not
build ordinary
products...
There are enough of
those. We do build
audio components
that inspire. We
build with beauty
and fanatical
attention to detail.
We are constructing
much more than a
stereo. We create
moments of
exhilaration,
freedom, and joy. We
provide our
customers with the
ability to hear and
understand the
universal language
of music.
In designing the
series 9 Decoding
Computer system our
objective was clear
– to create the new
standard.
The 921 mono
Decoding Computers
and the 931 Digital
Controller (series 9
Decoding Computer
system) present a
unique three box
architecture of
unmatched digital
and analog
technology. Each 921
provides D>A
conversion and the
931 functions as a
digital
preamplifier.
Combined with the
execution you expect
from reference Wadia,
the series 9
Decoding Computer
system is proof
positive that Wadia
means the best in
digital audio
reproduction.
Digital Accuracy -
The series 9
Decoding Computer
system is quite
simply the most
resolving Wadia
ever. Three digital
signal processors
coupled with our
most advanced
up-sampling software
(DigiMaster™ 1.4),
churn out an
astounding 2.8224
million samples per
second at a
theoretical 26 bits
of resolution. DigiMaster
allows us to
generate this
amazing amount of
data with accuracy
both in the
frequency and
(particularly) in
the time domain.
Why is this
important? The time
that it takes for a
sound wave to reach
one ear versus the
other tells the
listener where an
object is located in
space. When accuracy
in the time domain
is achieved the
resulting
3-dimensional sonic
image leaves you
with the uncanny
feeling of being
there.
Coherent Analog –
In creating the
series 9 Decoding
Computer system an
all new pure Class A
output architecture
was developed. To
exploit the
extraordinary data
rate generated in
the digital section
a discrete
implementation of
our patented
SwiftCurrent
technology (SC-2D)
was created. Current
exiting the D>A
converters is now
optimally loaded, in
turn allowing each
DAC to remain
linear. Current is
then mirrored and
driven with a zero
global feed back
Class A throughput
stage. The output
feeds directly into
a phase accurate
filter that
simultaneously
creates voltage and
removes unwanted
high frequency
noise.The SC-2D
generates 3
independent data
streams that drive
both the balanced
and unbalanced legs
of the Class A
output stage. Analog
signals remain time
and phase coherent
as zero global
feedback is
maintained
throughout the
entire system.
Integrated Circuits
that might introduce
switching distortion
have been
eliminated. The
discreet analog path
is musically pure,
nothing is included
that does not
contribute to
performance.
Pure Power -
The series 9
Decoding Computer
system features a
massive fully
balanced quadruple
shielded toroidal
transformer. Dual
inductors ensure
current flows
smoothly and
continuously to
charge capacitors.
There is a fully
regulated separate
power supply for
digital processing,
clocking, D>A
conversion, and
output stage. Every
performance
component is powered
by dual regulated
isolated power
traces that join
only at the ground
plane. The result –
pure music power
delivered with
lightning speed and
instantaneous
reproduction of
transient
information.
Without Compromise
-
The 3 separate
chassis have been
machined out of high
grade aluminum to
create a functional
non-ferrous
environment that
acts as both a
shield and a safe
haven for precision
electronics. The
look is powerful and
yet refined
featuring a jewelry
grade finishing
process literally
requiring 5 separate
steps to perfect.
The 9 series
Decoding Computer
system is built
without compromise
to have no equal.
Alter your
Perception!
Witness genius first
hand and your
perceptions change.
The series 9
Decoding Computer
system reveals the
artist's true
intentions. |
