Wadax has long been a standard bearer in the world of digital music reproduction, and their latest innovation, the Studio Player, further cements this reputation. Building upon the groundbreaking Atlantis Reference line, which has redefined the benchmarks for sonic excellence, the Studio Player incorporates Wadax’s cutting-edge technology into a compact and user-friendly chassis. Functioning as a CD/SACD player, streamer, and DAC, the Studio Player promises an unparalleled listening experience, making it an essential component for any audiophile’s setup.

Seamless Streaming Experience

With a focus on simplicity and ease of use, the Wadax Studio Player offers a streamlined playback experience that eliminates the need for additional streaming management software. Certified by popular platforms like Spotify and Tidal, the Studio Player allows users to connect directly using their existing apps. This means switching between different streaming services is as easy as changing apps, minimizing the need for frequent updates and reducing downtime for software maintenance. The integration of Wadax technology ensures that users enjoy seamless playback with a level of musical engagement that is simply unmatched.

All Formats Supported

Since its introduction over forty years ago, the compact disc has served as a primary medium for music. The Studio Player is designed to accommodate this legacy, featuring a disc player capable of reading both Red Book (CD) and Scarlett Book (SACD) discs. By combining an optical disc transport with advanced Wadax technologies, the Studio Player delivers an organic sound quality that is difficult to find in other digital playback systems.

Innovative musIC Feed-Forward Error Correction

At the heart of Wadax’s technology lies the unique musIC process, an advanced feed-forward error correction system that operates in the time domain. Traditional digital decoding often struggles due to nonlinearities and errors that can contaminate audio signals. Wadax’s musIC technology addresses these issues by mapping the error mechanisms of a chosen DAC chip and applying real-time corrections. This complex process, which requires substantial computational power, results in a musical presentation that is both natural and engaging.

Studio Player: The Numbers Behind the Design

The Studio Player’s impressive performance is a result of meticulous engineering and design. Each unit comprises 620 custom-machined parts, made from 14 different materials and alloys that manage resonance and vibration. Some notable specifications include:

  • 40 individual printed circuit boards
  • Over 4500 discrete components
  • Dual-differential musIC 3 fixed point 128-bit feed-forward error correction
  • Fully balanced, dual mono design
  • 0.5uV of total rail noise (1Hz-100KHz)
  • User-adjustable gain and output impedance
  • Optional Studio Clock with only 20fs total jitter

A Player That Grows with You

The Studio Player is designed for longevity and adaptability, featuring a modular architecture that allows for upgrades and expansions. Users can replace the Atlantis Reference DAC modules to access the latest technological advancements from Wadax. Additionally, options for an outboard power supply and clock enhance performance further. By isolating sensitive circuitry from electromagnetic interference (EMI) and minimizing jitter, these upgrades ensure that the Studio Player remains at the forefront of digital music playback technology.

I made short movies with my stuffed animals as a kid, since then I knew from a young age I wanted to be a videographer. My parents always said I had a great eye for video/photo, so I made my job out of it. Now I make professional corporate video's. I love to learn all about new gadgets and electronics that come to the market, that's why I write/edit for "Best Of High End".
