where the symbol at left is shown.
A Brief History of Wadia
Wadia was originally founded in 1988, making it the first high-end audio
company dedicated to digital audio reproduction. Wadia was formed
by a group of telecommunications engineers from 3M Corporation
who were committed to using advanced digital technology to improve
the performance of digital audio equipment.
Wadia’s first product, the Wadia 2000 Decoding Computer, was a
breakthrough in that it proved the viability of the Compact Disc as a
musically involving format. Wadia has continued to develop new
methods and technology and each successive product has resulted in
a new standard of performance for digital audio decoding. Here is an
abbreviated list of the technological innovations Wadia engineers
pioneered:
• Patented DigiMaster™ up-sampling algorithm, optimized for
extracting maximum musical information from digital-audio data
stream.
• First company to apply high bandwidth glass fiber optics to home
audio.
• Direct-Connect™ system to connect digital audio products directly
to an amplifier.
• ClockLink™ proprietary jitter-reduction technology.
• Swift-Current™ zero-feedback current to voltage converter.
5
Wadia’s digital expertise and record of accomplishment exceed those
of any audio company, but technology alone does not guarantee
musical performance. Wadia designs are born of a delicate balance
of technology shaped by a passion for music.
Wadia is proud to introduce the Wadia 3
33
302 CD Player, a breakthrough
in sonic performance and value, and a strong evidence of our
dedication to music reproduction.
Wadia 3
33
302 CD Design Philosophy
The Wadia 3
33
302 Compact Disc player is the first of Wadia’s new 3
33
3 –
series, a range of products that set a new standard for performance,
aesthetics, and value. The Wadia 3
33
302 CD Player has received the
benefit of over 13 years and thousands of hours of development that
have resulted in the Wadia legacy. Viewed this way, the Wadia 3
33
302 CD
Player is one of the most outstanding values in the world of high-end
music reproduction.
Wadia Digital Volume Control with Direct-Connect™
The Digital Volume Control and Direct-Connect circuitry perform the
functions of a preamplifier while the signal is in the digital domain. This
allows the Wadia 3
33
302 CD Player to be connected directly to your
power amplifier, bypassing the losses inherent in conventional
preamplifiers. New in the Wadia 3
33
302 CD Player is the ability to optimize
the output level to match your system by setting switches on the Wadia
3
33
302 CD Player rear panel.
DigiMaster™ Upsampling System
Wadia’s DigiMaster is a patented digital upsampling system designed
to extract maximum musical realism and detail from digital audio. In
the Wadia 3
33
302 CD Player, Wadia introduces the latest version of
DigiMaster, with the best cost/performance ratio of any DigiMaster
system to date. In addition, this new version of DigiMaster accepts
96kHz signals and upsamples incoming signals to 705.6 kHz or 768 kHz.
6
Swift Current I-V Converter
The Wadia 3
33
302 CD Player is the first Compact Disc player in this price
range to use Wadia’s patented Swift Current technology. This
proprietary, custom-fabricated integrated circuit performs the sonically
critical current-to-voltage conversion with no global negative
feedback, resulting in demonstrably superior sound quality.
The Music Comes First
As with all Wadia products, the Wadia 3
33
302 CD Player is the result of a
design philosophy that bridges the gap between the traditional
engineering and empirical approach to audio design. That is, Wadia
engineers are guided equally by advanced measurement techniques
and extensive listening during the development process. The result is
performance that exceeds the expectations of even the most
demanding listener.

Installation _____________________
This section includes information on how to unpack and position your
Wadia 3
33
302 CD Player.
Unpacking
After carefully unpacking your Wadia 3
33
302 CD Player, inspect for any
shipping damage and call your dealer immediately if any is found. Do
not plug your Wadia 3
33
302 CD Player into any outlet if you find shipping
damage.
Please save all packing materials so the unit can be easily and safely
shipped if the need arises.
The Accessory Kit
Included in the carton, you will find an accessory kit that contains the
following:
• AC power cord
• Remote Control
• Two type-AA batteries
• Three cone feet and flat metal discs
• One 75 Ohm BNC-to-RCA adapter
Installing Batteries In Remote Control
The Wadia 3
33
302 CD Player remote control requires two batteries, which
you will find in the accessory kit. To install the batteries, unscrew the
battery cover on the back of the remote. Insert the batteries as
indicated on the battery holders, and replace the cover.
8
Installing Cone Feet
The Wadia 3
33
302 CD Player is equipped with three cone feet that screw
into inserts in the bottom panel. These feet will improve performance by
reducing vibration. If the Wadia 3
33
302 CD Player is sitting on a shelf that
can be damaged by the sharp feet, place the steel discs under each
foot to protect the shelf surface.
Choosing a Location for the Wadia 3
33
302 CD Player
The sound quality of all high-performance digital and analog
components can be degraded by vibration. Although the Wadia 3
33
302
CD Player uses some of the most advanced noise-reduction circuitry
available, it too will benefit from any efforts taken to reduce vibration.
For best performance, place the Wadia 3
33
302 CD Player on a solid, non-
resonant shelf that will minimize vibration.

Connections ____________________
This section provides instructions to connect the Wadia 3
33
302 CD Player
to the rest of your music system. Below is an illustration of the Wadia
3
33
302 CD Player rear panel, showing all inputs and outputs.
Avoid allowing static shocks to be applied to the inputs or outputs. To
prevent static shocks, touch any grounded surface, such as the chassis
of a component that is plugged into an AC socket, before connecting
or removing a cable. It is unlikely that a static shock will damage the
unit, but it may cause the Wadia 3
33
302 CD Player circuitry to lock-up (see
Trouble Shooting in Appendices).
Inputs and outputs can be safely connected to the Wadia 3
33
302 CD
Player:
• When the AC power is switched off OR
• When the unit is in Relay-Mute mode (See Mute in Operation)

Connecting to AC Power
Check to make sure your Wadia 3
33
302 CD Player has been
manufactured for operation at your AC line voltage. Attempting to use
your Wadia 3
33
302 CD Player at any voltage other than that specified on
the rear of the unit may cause damage that is not covered by Wadia’s
warranty.
Using AC Line Conditioners
Of the wide range of power line conditioners currently available, some
can provide substantial improvement in sound while others actually
degrade sonic performance. Use caution in selecting a power line
conditioner for your system. In particular, avoid using inexpensive “surge
protectors”. Although these can prevent damage from high voltage
spikes, they often degrade performance.
Leaving the AC power on
The Wadia 3
33
302 CD Player is designed to be able to have the AC power
on with no harm or wear to the unit. To reduce wear and power
consumption, all motors and laser circuitry turn off when the unit stops
playing. Leaving the power on allows the circuitry to remain at a
constant operating temperature, providing better performance and
longer life. However, there is always a slight increase in risk of fire or
damage to any electrical component when the power is left on. We
leave the decision to leave the Wadia 3
33
302 CD Player powered to the
individual owner.
Break-in and warm-up
Careful listeners will notice that the sound of the Wadia 3
33
302 CD Player
improves steadily after the unit is powered-up. A new unit will undergo
more dramatic changes when power is applied for the first time.
Depending on the resolution of the system and the attentiveness of the
listener, you may find that the sound continues to improve over the first
several weeks of operation. If the power is disconnected for a period of
an hour or more, the unit will undergo similar but less dramatic break-in.
