Lots of rave reviews on the CD Player:
"The Wadia 830 is an excellent CD player, in my opinion, and worthy of a Class A rating. Its performance was excellent on all accounts, and its precision—temporal, spatial, and timbral—truly outstanding. The result is a detailed, captivating presentation that manages to be both
unusually vivid and very natural. I don't have a great deal of
experience with the very best digital systems available, but I have heard several. I'd strongly urge anyone considering a top-drawer CD system to audition the 830. Approached from that direction, it may be one of the best bargains in audio. If, on the other hand, you're like I was—convinced that one of the hot $1500 players is all you really want
or need - I recommend that you steer clear of the Wadia 830. You might lose your grip on those convictions and find your world turned upside-down. The 830 isn't just better than the best mid priced players, or even lots better—it's fundamentally better. The difference will move your entire system a small but profound step closer to the real thing. The bottom line is that the Wadia 830 played a decisive role
in another of my audio epiphanies; it's going to be hard, if not impossible, to give it up." - Stereophile Magazine
"So what do you get here for your audio dollar? More than I bargained for, certainly. I found the Wadia 830 CD player to be an achievement in both musical and technical design. I was consistently moved by the way the 830 conveyed the essence of music. This Wadia player has an
understated ability to tap into the rhythmic core of jazz and blues. Its vibrant reproduction of instrumental timbre, incisive transient delivery and unfettered extension represent benchmark value at the 830's price point. Throw in a thoroughly modular design, digital volume control and rock-solid build quality and you have a player that demands
to be heard. The fact that the 830 in its accessorized form is ready for 24/96 replay is much more than just frosting on the cake. As I’ve found with other high-performance digital products, the 830 is responsive to its surroundings and signal cables. Matching the 830 player optimally to
a system and ancillaries will ensure that it performs beyond its non-meteoric price. - SoundStage!
Music lovers shopping for a safe haven of good sound while waiting out the digital format skirmish would do well to explore the Wadia 830. The way its forward-thinking, modular design serves music will provide solace to the wayward audiophile seeking shelter from the digital
Darwinian storm.
