Angeboten wird „Wadia CD 6 – High-end CD-speler / DAC (VRDS)“ von Wadia als Gebrauchtgerät aus der Kategorie „CD Geräte“ bei audio-markt.de - dem Online-Marktplatz für High-End. Das Inserat mit der Nummer 2234283973 endet am 24.07.2026 um 16:39 Uhr.
This is a fair ask. At €1,850, it lands exactly on the median of your recent comparable EUR listings, well above the €1,608 25th percentile but still comfortably below the €2,893 75th percentile, so it reads as market-aligned rather than a bargain or an aggressive ask.
What makes it worth a look is the classic Wadia draw: these VRDS-era machines are prized for strong transport execution, a confident, full-bodied presentation, and the flexibility of having DAC functionality in one box. If the condition is genuinely good and it includes the remote, original packaging, and a clean laser/transport history, this is the kind of well-regarded digital front end that can still feel satisfying and substantial without paying top-of-market money.
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.
