The x
Upgrade for the Wadia 860 CD Player
Available immediately, Wadia has introduced the x Upgrade for
owners of the original Wadia 860. A solid affirmation of the advantages of Wadia's modular
based architecture, the x Upgrade changes two of the Wadia 860 CD Player's
internal components -- the digital receiver and main software EPROM. As a result, the cost
for the x Upgrade for the 860 CD Player is minimal. The x
Upgrade adds impressive new features and, most importantly, enhanced sonic performance.
Here is a description of the new technology included with the x
Upgrade for the Wadia 860 CD Player:
24-bit, 96 kHz Digital Input Capability --
The Wadia 860x CD Player's digital inputs now accept and decode 24-bit data
at any sampling frequency up to 96 kHz. Now listeners can connect sources such as a DVD
player or a 24/96 analog-to-digital converter (like the Wadia 150 A/D Converter) to the
Wadia 860x and experience high-sampling rate audio using Wadia's proprietary
technology, including DigiMaster interpolation filtering at 96 kHz.
ClockLink Capability with External Digital Processors --
When using a digital processor and/or room equalizer in your audio system, the signal can
be directed from the digital outputs of the 860x, into a digital processor, and back into
the 860x while maintaining Wadia's proprietary jitter reduction method
ClockLink.
This capability is unique in the audio industry.
Improved Performance as a CD Player --
The performance of the Wadia 860x establishes a new standard for all-in-one CD
playback systems. Based on the clock architecture of the Wadia 27ix, the 860x
clock signal is significantly quieter than previous iterations. This change is audible as
an increased sense of air and high frequency clarity, resulting in higher level of
listening pleasure. |
