About the di122
The Wadia di122 is a digital audio decoder that supports PCM digital audio sources up to 32-bit/384kHz resolution, including DXD 352.8kHz and 384kHz files, as well as DSD64 and DSD128 formats. It features two coaxial and two optical SPDIF inputs, plus a USB Type B input, allowing connection to a wide range of digital sources. The unit offers both balanced (XLR) and unbalanced (RCA) variable analog audio outputs with volume control, enabling it to function as a digital preamplifier. It also includes a high-powered 1/4" headphone output. The di122 is praised for its exceptional sound quality, revealing subtle musical details with a natural, fluid, and musical character. Its compact design fits well in desktop or living room setups. The device includes a remote control, though some users find its layout less intuitive. The chassis features a glass top and a clear display showing volume, input, and sample rate. It is suitable for use with active or passive systems and pairs well with Wadia's a102 amplifier. The di122 is regarded as future-proof due to its extensive format support and high-quality ESS Sabre ES9016S DAC chip. It has a 3-year parts and labor warranty.
