Wadia A102
Brand: Wadia
The Wadia A102 is a high-end digital-to-analog converter (DAC) designed for audiophiles who demand the highest possible sonic performance. It is part of Wadia's acclaimed 101 series, which includes a range of digital audio components.The A102 supports up to 24-bit/192-kHz digital audio inputs via USB, AES/EBU, and S/PDIF, as well as 768-kHz and DSD64/128 playback via the proprietary DSOP (Digital Serial Output Parliament) interface. Its upsampling technology enables reduced jitter and improved sound quality.The A102's DAC chip is a dual-differential structure implemented using FPGA (Field Programmable Gate Array) technology. It supports 1-bit to 16-bit resolution and utilizes hybrid Gallium Nitride and bipolar junction transistor (GaN/BJT) output stages. These output stages work together to deliver a very clean, low-distortion signal with superb detail and tone.The A102 also includes an additional headphone amplifier output, which is switchable between low and high gain modes. It has a premium volume control that enables precise level adjustment without degrading the signal.Finally, the A102's build quality is outstanding, with a polished, single-piece aluminum front panel and a solid aluminum chassis that provides excellent acoustic isolation.Overall, the Wadia A102 is a highly innovative and technically advanced DAC that delivers exceptional sound quality, along with a host of convenient features and a sleek, high-quality design. It is a top choice for any audiophile serious about digital audio playback.
