Here is a brief list of the technological innovations the Wadia engineers
have pioneered over the past 20 years:

• DigiMaster™ patented algorithm (filter optimized for reproducing music)

• ClockLink™ proprietary jitter reduction technology

• SwiftCurrent™ current to voltage conversion technology

• First outboard Digital-to-Analog converter

• First to apply glass fiber-optics to home audio

• First to recognize jitter as a source of audible distortion

• First to perfect digital volume control

• First high-end CD player competitive with expensive separates

First company to provide bit perfect digital audio output from the iPod

While Wadia’s expertise and track record exceed those of most digital audio
companies, technology alone does not guarantee an immersive and captivating
musical performance. Wadia’s intuitive designs are born of a delicate balance
of technology shaped by a passion for music.

Wadia continues to re-define the limits of digital music playback. We are proud to
introduce the Wadia 151PowerDAC mini – a breakthrough in sonic performance
and a strong statement of our dedication to music.
