Wadia 581i digital player

We loved the original Wadia 581, but this “i” version adds full digital inputs and variable output so that you can plug it directly into a power amplifier. The 581i, unlike its predecessor, now plays SACDs as well, rekindling our excitement for that format. The Wadia is so versatile, it’s very easy to “make it the center of your digital universe,” especially considering the ability to upgrade software in the future.
