Wadia 121 Decoding Computer

July 25, 2012

Tom Lyles has posted a review of the Wadia 121 Decoding Computer ($1299) at Enjoy the Music. His conclusions:

“The Wadia 121 Decoding Computer is the best affordable digital-to-analog converter that I’ve ever heard. No, I have not heard every affordable DAC on the planet – and there are new DACs in all shapes, sizes, and prices being released even as we speak. But given their track record, it is a safe bet that Wadia has not only put a lot of thought into the design of the Wadia 121, but this DAC won’t be bested by any DAC for quite a few years to come – unless one is willing to spend quite a bit more than the Wadia 121′s very reasonable asking price. The Wadia 121 looks great, sounds great, and is flexible enough for use in any system, from a budget desktop system to the most demanding two-channel set-ups. This one isn’t leaving my system, not for quite a while.”
