Wadia W381 CD Player

The ebb and flow of music fills your room as this CD player sonically takes you to places you have never been.

Music Without Compromise
The CD Player features the same ground breaking technologies that have made the 581se CD Player a benchmark. Literally your 381 CD Player utilizes the identical DigiMaster 2.5 reconstruction filter, SwiftCurrent 3 Discreet current to voltage conversion, isolated power factor corrected and inductor filtered power supplies, and ClockLink jitter reduction circuits as the 581se CD Player adding up to world class performance at a very attractive price. our first optical disc transport capable of playing Flac, MP3, and WMA audio data from your download collection.

Utilizing the inputs allows you to use your playeras a high performance DAC maximizing sources such as - DVD players, computers, digital satellite/cable boxes.

Open Your Ears and Rediscover Your Dreams
Your CD collection has never sounded this good. You will dig deep into your music collection to hear for the first time what you have been missing.

By the Numbers
Utilizing a new CD only transport, modified to allow ClockLink jitter reduction
and pure data capture, providing state-of-the-art audio information extraction with the
lowest measured error correction in Wadiaís history. Patent worthy technologies ensure
that data is accurately captured from audio discs regardless of format, including WMA,
MP3 and FLAC. The mechanism is further enhanced by a custom mounting and enclosure
system that provides both mechanical and electrical isolation. The result, performance
surpassing even the highly acclaimed transports featured in previous players.

Tradition Meets Innovation
Developed for our special edition and reference products, Wadia's SwiftCurrent 3
Discreet (SC-3D) has been combined with the latest version of our superior current to
voltage (I/V) conversion technology. Current exiting the DA converters is optimally
loaded, in turn allowing each DAC to remain linear. Current is then mirrored and driven
with a zero global feedback 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-3D generates 3 independent data streams that drive both
the balanced and unbalanced legs of the output stage. A quieter blacker background
ensures holographic images will appear, or in other words the sound stage will be
rendered in... 3-D.

Pure Power
Featuring two new fully balanced shielded toroidal transformers
that are electrically, mechanically, and acoustically isolated from other components.
New inductor filtering has been added to the digital supply ensuring smooth charging
of capacitors and eliminating noise spikes from the ground plain. There is a fully
regulated separate power supply for digital processing, clocking, DA conversion,
and the output stage. Every performance component is powered by regulated
isolated power traces. The result quiet pure power with lightning speed allowing
instantaneous reproduction of transient information.

Dual transformers in internal isolation chamber
