Available immediately, Wadia has introduced the series i Upgrade for owners of the Wadia 27 Decoding Computer. The series i Upgrade is a prime example of the benefits of Wadia's modular design philosophy, only the clock circuit board and the master software chip replacement are required. The efficiency of this design approach allows Wadia to offer the series i Upgrade for the Wadia 27 Decoding Computer at a reasonable cost maximizing ownership value. Here is a description of the new technology included with the series i Upgrade for the Wadia 27 Decoding Computer:

ClockLink Jitter-Reduction
The series i Upgrade for the Wadia 27 Decoding computer features the addition of ClockLink™, Wadia's most effective jitter-reduction technology to date. With a ClockLink-equipped CD Transport such as the Wadia 270 CD Transport, the Linked system allows the clock circuitry in both the transport and decoding computer to function as one unit, eliminating the added clock jitter and degraded sound quality caused by conventional clock transmission/recovery systems. ClockLink provides an astonishing improvement in sound quality.

Temperature-Compensated Crystal Oscillator (TCXO)
The master oscillator in the Wadia 27i is an ultra-stable Temperature-Compensated Crystal Oscillator (TCXO). While typical oscillators offer (at best) ± 5 ppm (part per million) Temperature vs. Frequency accuracy, the Wadia TCXO delivers a rock-solid ± 1 ppm accuracy. Even more importantly, Wadia's TCXO produces an extremely low jitter clock signal - far lower than conventional oscillators. ClockLink and the Wadia TCXO combine to produce the lowest possible clock jitter, lower than any previous Wadia system. This system provides a dramatic improvement in sound quality, with greater spaciousness, clarity, impact, and purity.

Digital Design Refinements
New software processed in DSP allows for improvements in the clocking and data handling circuitry. These refinements provide a further reduction in clock jitter and digital noise and improvement in sound quality when listening to any source, even those without ClockLink.

Configurable Features
Each digital input on the Wadia 27i can be configured to meet the needs of your audio system.

ClockLink Enable/Disable - The ClockLink output can be disabled when listening to non-ClockLink sources. This reduces noise by shutting down unused ClockLink circuitry.

Input Enable/Disable - Allows individual inputs to be enabled or disabled if not used, minimizing noise and enabling faster and easier input selection.

Custom Input Names - Individual inputs can be programmed so that when selected, the name of the source connected to that input is displayed allowing easy identification of sources.

Life with a Wadia 27i
Operation of the Wadia 27i is more seamless and convenient, the sound quality, particularly when used with a ClockLink-equipped CD transport, is second to none. Ultimately, the improvements wrought by the series i Upgrade elevate the sonic and ergonomic performance of this unit to best of class.
