We sincerely believe that your Wadia Intuition 01 is an intelligent investment that will bring you many years of musical enjoyment and satisfaction. We understand how eager you are to begin listening and we want you to become familiar with the full capabilities of the Wadia Intuition 01. However, before powering on the device, we encourage you to look through the attached guide and carefully read its content. Digital inputs:The Wadia Intuition 01 has 7 digital inputs on the back panel.• 1 USB Input: Use a USB cable from a desktop or laptop computer. • This input accepts a sample rate up to 32-bit/384kHz and DSD 64/128 files. • 1 TOSLINK Optical Input: Use a TOSLINK optical cable from a digital source. DVD player or Laptop computer with optical output. • 2 D-Link inputs : These are digital I2S LVDS inputs where you can connet sources with the same format. This is also a preferred Wadia to Wadia connection protocol. The I2S LVDS format is not a confirmed standard but a protocol that is in continual development, therefore its compatibility or correct operation with sources that have this data format is not guaranteed. These inputs are to be preferred for connecting Wadia apparatuses with D-Link outputs. • 1 AES/EBU Digital Coax Inputs: This is the professional digital interface input. We recommend using this input to connect a source that features an AES/EBU output. Note on the USB input:To play audio files using a USB connection from your computer to the Wadia Intuition 01, a driver may need to be installed into your computer. Apple computers featuring OS 10.6.4 and higher do not require a driver. The set-up program and driver is on the Wadia thumb drive included with your Intuition 01 (see accessories). The set-up program with driver for the different versions of Windows is also available from the Wadia Web site on the page dedicated to Intuition 01.

Loudspeaker outputs Connect the left loudspeaker to the left loudspeaker terminals and the right loudspeaker to the right loudspeaker terminals. Make sure to connect the positive terminal (red) with the positive loudspeaker terminal and the negative terminal (black) with the negative loudspeaker terminal. To connect the loudspeakers use the banana plugs supplied with the standard accessories Wadia history Wadia Digital, founded in 1988, is one of the original companies dedicated to high performance digital audio reproduction. Wadia was formed by a team of engineers from the Minneapolis based 3M Corporation (Minnesota Mining and Manufacturing) who shared many years of experience in advanced digital telecommunications research and development. In the early 1980’s, these engineers became intrigued by the emerging compact disc technology.Disappointed with the sound quality of early CD players, they examined the workings and designs of these early components and found them to be unsophisticated when compared with the technology available in other areas of digital design.In response, they founded Wadia Digital – a company based on the philosophy of applying advanced technology to improve the performance of digital audio components. Wadia’s first product, the Wadia 2000 Decoding Computer, was an absolute breakthrough in digital audio. For many discerning listeners, it proved that Digital Audio was a musically responsive, evolving, and engaging format.Building on a tradition of excellence, Wadia continues to develop innovative technology; refining, listening, engineering, and improving along the way. Since the Wadia 2000, new generations of industry-leading designs have been introduced and embraced by listeners around the world. Each step of the way, Wadia has consistently raised the standard for performance of Digital Audio playback.Here is a brief list of the technological innovations the Wadia engineers have pioneered over the past 25 years: • DigiMaster™ patented algorithm (filter optimized for reproducing music) • ClockLink™ proprietary jitter reduction technology • SwiftCurrent™ current to voltage conversion technology • First outboard Digital-to-Analog converter • First to apply glass fiber-optics to home audio • First to recognize jitter as a source of audible distortion • First to perfect digital volume control • First high-end CD player competitive with expensive separates • First company to provide bit perfect digital audio output from the iPod While Wadia’s expertise and track record exceed those of most digital audio companies, technology alone does not guarantee an immersive and captivating musical performance. Wadia’s intuitive designs are born of a delicate balance of technology shaped by a passion for music.Wadia continues to re-define the limits of digital music playback. We are proud to introduce the Wadia Intuition 01 – a breakthrough in sonic performance and a strong statement of our dedication to music. Accessories provided with the Wadia Intuition 01 are the following accessories: • AC power cord • Remote Control • Wadia USB thumb drive • 2 red and 2 black male banana plugs for connecting the loudspeakers • Screwdriver ( to open the remote control when necessary to replace the battery ) • Cleaner + soft cloth • 2 year warranty
