Id say main characteristics of wadax are detail retrieval articulation natural flow overall clarity
It seems some of the artificial harshness a lot associate with digital has been reduced/ dissapeared.
I ll be looking for some confirmation of this in the wadax set ups at MOC today.
From what i picked up from the presentation of Javier is that Wadax manufactures their own chips.
hard to grasp it's significance when the Wadax Ref dac and server are heard by themselves, you hear those attributes you mention. and they are significant and something different.Your sonic view of the Wadax reference combination is spot on. And I would add: superb dynamics, great density, serene presentation and wide/deep soundstage.
yet; when directly compared to other 'uber' digital there is a clear absence of digital artifacts with the Wadax that is startling when first heard; one has to step back and realize how one's digital reference is fundamentally changed. you realize the issue is not the media, it's the hardware execution in the dac, the server, and the interface. there is a calmness and realism that invites very extended sessions and an opening up of musical possibilities. it's a physically different experience.
i look forward to your additional feedback.
