Offered is „Intuition 01“ by Wadia as second-hand device from the category „Transistor-Fullamp“ on audio-markt.de - the online market place for high-end. The advert with the number 4102587475 ends on 30.10.2026 at 06:17 o'clock.
Should you jump on it at €4,800, or wait for something closer to the pack? Against your own comparator set, this is clearly ambitious: the ask sits well above the €3,865 75th percentile and is more than €1,850 over the €2,946 median. For a used piece, that means you’re paying a premium that needs to be justified by unusually strong condition, provenance, or extras.
That said, the box is worth serious attention if you want one: Wadia’s integrated/DAC pieces have a strong following for their grip, transparency, and musical authority, and a clean, well-kept example can be a satisfying long-term buy. If this one is genuinely good condition with solid upkeep, known history, and the right accessories, the upside is in getting a respected, uncommon component rather than a commodity DAC.
Independent perspective — not a price guarantee. Always verify condition, accessories and provenance before purchase.
Wadia Digital emerged in 1988 from St. Paul, Minnesota, founded by a team of engineers who had honed their skills at 3M Corporation in advanced digital telecommunications. Disillusioned by the lackluster sound of early compact disc players, they channeled their expertise into revolutionizing digital audio reproduction. Their debut product, the groundbreaking Wadia 2000 Decoding Computer, marked a pivotal moment, proving that CDs could deliver musically engaging performance through innovations like proprietary upsampling filters, glass-fiber optics, and jitter-minimizing clocking.
The brand has long specialized in high-end digital audio components, particularly outboard digital-to-analog converters (DACs) and CD transports, with models like the di322 and di122 exemplifying their current focus on precision decoding. While early offerings transformed source playback, Wadia later expanded into integrated amplifiers such as the a315, maintaining a commitment to sophisticated digital signal processing over analog-heavy categories like speakers or turntables.
Positioned firmly in the ultra-high-end market, Wadia commands respect among discerning audiophiles for its pioneering role in elevating digital sound to rival analog warmth. Now under the McIntosh Group banner and based in Binghamton, New York, it remains a boutique force, appealing to collectors and purists who prioritize technological refinement in two-channel systems.
