As far as I'm concerned, Wadia has been out of business since the first time they went out. The 2nd time around, the service was so bad its like they weren't in business anyway. The only way I could get them to return my phone calls was to really shame them into it. I actually left them a message stating that: When all you make is CD players and the cheapest one is $5000, you need to pick up the phone. It actually worked. I love their products but its no surprise they went out of business. Again.
Wadia news
Sad news for fans of the Wadia:
""...As you all know, the Wadia brand enjoys “legacy status” as one of the founding firms that pioneered high-performance digital audio over twenty five years ago - and how times have changed since then. Clearly a move away from music bring stored on optical media is happening today and Wadia’s future products will embrace this new market reality. Simply stated, the current product category of CD players, can no longer sustain growth in any meaningful way. Consequently, Wadia will cease manufacture immediately of the 381/381i and S7i CD players, 571 CD Transport and 521 Decoding Computer. These products are now officially discontinued. Please note that there is limited inventory remaining of these models and these will be made available to our dealer are a first come first serve basis. Additionally, the parts and service warranty on these discontinued models will be honored. Remaining models that will continue to be available going forward include the 121 Decoding Computer, 151 Power DAC Mini and of course, Intuition 01.
