Description
WADIA - 121 DECODING COMPUTER DACWorks perfectly, sounds wonderful. I am the original owner, only used in my non-smoking home dedicated 2-channel audio system. These are great DACs as they have a great sounding digital volume control, so they can work as a regular D/A or stand-alone directly connected with a power amp. That’s how I used it. I fed my Mac (
running
Pure Music
High-definition audio software
) directly into my power amp/speakers for incredible clarity. The volume is controlled by the included remote. Plays up to 24-bit/192kHz. Has all types of input connections for just about any audio source. Check out the awesome reviews online from the audiophile trade mags.
Comes with original Power Supply and Remote. Manual also included.
