Thank you for taking the time to post here. I’m new to this hobby and I really enjoy learning about new technologies in music reproduction. I’m just getting into streaming and this is all incredibly fascinating.
Wadax Reference Dac and Reference Server--arrived in my room.
i debated with myself whether Audiogon was an appropriate forum to talk about these products. a certain number of Audiogon members might like to hear about them, some others might like to take some target practice that such products exist. others just like to make jokes or spout nonsense. such is the way of the ’Gon. to each their own.

both the Wadax Reference Dac and Wadax Reference server arrived last week, and over the weekend i had 8 visitors through my room hearing these new products compared directly with my outgoing MSB Select 2 dac, and my resident server, the Taiko Extreme.
here is a thread with pictures of the Wadax Ref dac and Ref server in my room. scroll down for more pictures.

as a result of my listening this weekend, i have purchased the Wadax Reference dac, and am in the process of comparing the Wadax Reference server to my Taiko Extreme server to determine which one will remain. the MSB Select 2 is outbound on it’s way to a new owner.
the Wadax combo is the best sounding digital music reproduction i have heard, and not by a little bit. they cross thresholds of sounding analog and like good vinyl in ways i’ve never heard before. i am stunned at how digital in my room sounds, how great redbook files i’ve heard for 30 years have now come alive.
happy to answer any questions, or maybe observe a little chaos. let the fun begin.
