Wadax

WADAX is a prestigious Spanish high-end digital audio manufacturer established in 2006 by father-son team Angel and Javier Guadalajara, following three decades of multidisciplinary fundamental research in acoustics, electronics, and signal processing. Founded by Angel Guadalajara, a multi-disciplinary engineer with qualifications in acoustics, electronics and signal processing who became one of Spain's most successful high-end audio distributors, and his son Javier Guadalajara whose digital engineering wizardry has been pivotal in defining the global landscape of high-end digital audio, WADAX operates from a four-storey, 900m² facility in Madrid's diplomatic zone featuring a 180m² showroom/listening room alongside R&D, prototyping and administrative facilities. The company achieved a breakthrough in 2010 by becoming the first high-end audio company to design its own proprietary chip—the revolutionary musIC processor that operates at 128-bit resolution and processes data at 6.4 GBytes/second using sophisticated feed-forward error correction technology in the time domain. Based on ten core proprietary technologies developed through their research program, WADAX hand-manufactures ultra-premium digital audio products in Spain and Switzerland, including the flagship Atlantis Reference DAC (consisting of three units weighing 180 pounds total with 23 shielded PCBs and over 5,500 discrete parts achieving 12 femtosecond jitter specification), the Atlantis Server, and [R]evolution combination units. Recognized globally as the de facto reference standard with products winning 'Product of the Year' twice from The Absolute Sound, WADAX continues advancing digital audio reproduction through their unique holistic approach aimed at capturing and reproducing the emotional message and physical energy present in live music for the most discerning audiophiles worldwide.
