Wadax Reference Server

[Purité Audio]

Thinking of getting one of these as well the design is so understated.

It looks fairly standard high end tosh , milled from 150kg of aluminium, five power supplies etc etc but they make great play of their ‘digital waveform control’.
which consists of Input/output gain and ‘speed’ which controls the rise time of the bit waveforms’!
Before I splash out my £233k I thought I would plumb the ASR hive mind.

‘ Digital Waveform Control, a set of three rotary knobs that allow users to adjust/compensate for errors in the rise-time and amplitude of the sent signal as well as the spacing on the return channel (counteracting echoes and reflections). ‘

This obviously only makes sense if you buy the optional external power supply as well. 50k only, includes a 5 inch full colour screen.

This is clearly a major breakthrough in digital reproduction Robert Harley said so, https://www.theabsolutesound.com/articles/wadax-atlantis-reference-music-server/
and-its just so cute !

With reviews like: "It’s not an incremental advance in sound quality—more of the same but better. Rather, the Wadax pair sounds different in kind rather than in degree. The qualities that the Wadax embodies are so important musically. The Wadax conveys a feeling of spontaneity, vitality, and contemporaneous music-making that is the antithesis of canned and sterile."

How can one pass it up ?

Quite and you need a dac of course £130k, the screen is a bit on the small side for the price.

Ooooh ... can you manually adjust the speed of the waveform in real time? that sounds like the kind of challenge I've been missing ...

Seriously it is such an audacious lie, wiim/Wadax unsighted comparison that would be interesting.

This thing is cheap at twice the price. I'd make sure you also get one for the kids.

 

[Dialectic]

Can I use the expansion bays to turn it into a PC gaming rig?

What OS does it run?

Are you waxing lyrical about wadax?

this video sums it up pretty good:

'uses unique technologies to deliver musical performance...' Lol.

I'm seriously thinking of dreaming up something, make it look fancy and sell for mega money. All I need to do is find some old routers at the tip, get some wood and maybe some polished brass for a bit of glitz and should be a £10,000 audiophile router. And whoever buys this will be definitely wanting one of those.

How practical. If only there were another alternative solution to heavy, audiophile grade USB cables and a standard USB socket.

"Rather than relying on the Ethernet to carry your fragile data from the Reference Server to your DAC, at Wadax we prefer a direct link using USB. But no ordinary USB. Rather than off-the-shelf components, we build our own USB physical layer driver to ensure accurate data transfer. We provide a mechanical support for the cable, to deal with the issue of incompatibility between the USB connector and heavy, audiophile grade USB cables, so that the weight of the cable cannot compromise the performance of the connection."
