Wadax Impresses and Satisfies in Munich

There had been a number of the explanation why I used to be extraordinarily keen to listen to this technique. First and foremost, given the excessive worth of Wadax digital gear, I wished to get a way of what the Wadax Atlantis Reference DAC ($166,420), Wadax Atlantis Reference Server ($68,800), Wadax Atlantis Reference Transport $115,000), and Wadax Atlantis Reference PSU ($52,700) would possibly sound like within the context of the MOC’s difficult acoustics. Second, whereas I haven’t got good sense of the last word potential of Magico M6 loudspeakers ($185,000/pair), which I have never heard as many occasions as I hope I’ll, I definitely know the sound of the D’Agostino Momentum HD preamp ($42,500) and D’Agostino Momentum M400 MxV monoblocks ($79,950/pair), each of which grace my reference system. So, with a giant thumbs as much as Wadax for having the smarts to go head-to-head with dCS by utilizing the identical electronics they’re typically paired with, and for additionally now providing an optionally available higher-priced all-black end which drastically alters their gear’s look, I needed to pay attention.

The first time I visited, shortly after the present opened. the sound wasn’t price describing. My instinct, grounded in a number of a long time of overlaying audio exhibits, declared that the system had not but settled in sufficiently to disclose its full potential. Only on Day 2 did I hear the very advantageous, full of life prime, glorious three-dimensionality, element, and stage of musical engagement that I hope for from tools on this worth vary. I did not have time to remain very lengthy, however an SACD of Bob Dylan singing “Man within the Long Black Coat” sounded the very best and most truthful I’ve ever heard it sound.
