About Wadax Atlantis Reference DAC

It is not so easy to describe this DAC because it is better for anyone to experience it in a proper setup than me writing about it.  The price tag precludes widespread ownership, but facts proved otherwise in the past 12 months.  There were no reviews but AE sold 7 units.  The biggest shock comes from Lincoln Cheng of Audiotechnique. Lincoln, who is a big fan of Audio Note UK decided to sell the ANUK flagship CD/DAC system in exchange for the Wadax Atlantis Reference DAC/Transport.  He even had to modify his rack in order to house the big Wadax DAC.  Why would he go through such hassles under a COVID environment?  We are about to deliver it to him.  Audiotechnique will do the photography for an upcoming cover page before settling permanently at Lincoln’s home.  Upcoming reviews from leading critics in the US and Europe will expound the technical mastery of it to the service of music.  The exceptionalism of it earns it a place in Divin Lab in Hong Kong, and the main studio of AE Singapore.  Unlike conventional digital playback, where there is always a ceiling limiting dynamic headroom, the Wadax flagship seemingly takes away this invisible ceiling.  This is a big deal, indeed.  The playback of SACD and DSD recordings via it is tremendous in resolution, unrestricted in dynamics, organic in lyricism,  palpable in silence, noble in sonority, transparent in decay, and majestic in presentation.

Last night, I was touched by the cooperative spirit of Elliot Leung (the composer), Henry Chu (digital artist) and the whole crew of HK Philharmonic. The whole idea is creative in concept and innovative in execution. The premier performance of Metaverse Symphony No.1 blended digital arts with classical orchestration in a very coherent storytelling manner. The giant digital screen on top of the orchestra generates ever evolving digital images corresponding to the tempo (the mood) of the symphony. It is abstract to a certain degree but it offers a graphical venue for me (audiences) to walk through the symphonic mindset of Elliot. The 1st movement is theatrically exciting. The 2nd is serene and beautiful. The 3rd is retrospective and inquisitive, and the 4th is flamboyant with a favor of Gustav Mahler.

I was blessed to meet Elliot Leung at Divin Lab in Jan 2022. I am honored that Audio Exotics played a small part in this magnificent program. Our society needs new ideas in order to move on to the next stage. The success of the Metaverse Symphony Number 1 will illuminate the hope of many dream-chasers out there with new ideas.

當年情 in memory of Leslie Cheung renditioned by Grand Prix Audio’s Monaco 3.0 powered by battery. The Thales Statement Arm is navigated by Fuuga 風雅 cartridge on the groove feeding to JMF Audio PHS 7.3 phono rendered realism in uncharted territory.

Tripoint Troy NG, Subbase Vividus and Pranawire Nirvanda respectively mitigated ground noise, RF noise and AC noise, notwithstanding everything is connected to JMF Audio PCD102 AC conditioner. The Dartzeel NHB-18NS preamp and Model 2 are heavenly matched to drive the Cessaro Qianlong to maximum potential. #audioexotics #lesliecheung
