Offered is „Intuition 01 Schwarz“ by Wadia as new device from the category „Fully integrated Amplifier“ on audio-markt.de - the online market place for high-end. The advert with the number 6548641752 ends on 13.10.2026 at 10:01 o'clock.
Compared with the obvious alternative of buying a more conventional integrated plus separate DAC at this level, €3,200 lands a touch above the €3,050 median but still inside the normal band, so this reads as fair rather than cheap or aggressive. It is not a bargain at that price, but it is close enough to market that a clean example can be worth paying for.
That appeal is the usual Wadia one: a serious all-in-one with a distinctive, high-end digital front end, strong drive, and the kind of fuss-free one-box convenience that still suits enthusiasts who want big sound without a rack full of gear. If the unit is complete, well cared for, and includes the original bits you’d want to keep long-term, it should be a credible buy; at this level, condition and provenance matter more than chasing a discount.
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.
