If you are looking at this listing, then you know that this is a piece of audiophile history. Never to be duplicated and still better than most D/A decoders on the market today. Please be aware that this is a heavy item and shipping will be expensive (the eBay shipping calculator is woefully inaccurate). That being written I will ship with UPS, professionally packaged at the UPS store with tracking and insurance. Actual shipping cost will be provided to the buyer based upon location with documentation. No added handling charge, no hidden fees. You pay exactly what it costs to get the item to you. Heres a description from back in the day... Wadia’s first product, the Wadia 2000 Decoding Computer, was an absolute breakthrough in digital audio. For many discerning listeners, it was the first product to demonstrate that digital audio was a musically responsive, evolving, and engaging format. The Wadia 2000 is a sonic knockout. Its development is significant enough to reevaluate the status of the Compact Disc medium. This unit, when fed a carefully retrieved digital code, breaks new ground well beyond what until now has been the realm of the CD. The sounds from the Wadia 2000 are the state of the art by any standard. It substantiated the fact that CD is far better up to now, and can stand proudly on its own merits. It demonstrated, very convincingly, that a whole world of new information is there waiting to be retrieved. CD after CD was revealed to be not only sonically, but also musically more complete, more enjoyable than ever before. The improvements covered many areas of performance like spectral balance, dynamics, transparency, focus. Especially the soundstage, it was vast yet specific in proportions. The total soundspace was endowed with convincing volume, right down to the subtle tremors. While the stereo spread was surprisingly wide, its only part of the story. This enticing horizontal dimensionality was augmented by an exacting rendition of depth. When people look into the stage, they see only as far as the CD permits, without artificially enhanced vastness. Thats if the recording has a natural setting. The whole playback process is made credible because the soundspace dimensionality is tracked from CD to CD. This ability to convey a wide variety of soundspace conditions with great precision is what makes the Wadia 2000 a standout. But theres more. Since the soundstage information was recovered very aptly, the sonic imagery within it also fell into place. In some cases the vivid presentation of these born-again images was very startling. In most cases the image that materialized before the listener had a legitimate reach out and touch me validity. It was a stark and credible rendition. The Wadia 2000 really shone out outstandingly when confronted with demanding musical material.
