Meet the Founder & CEO
Javier Guadalajara is an engineer who continued the journey his father, Angel, started in 1958. Across generations and new proprietary technologies the mission has never changed: reproduce the emotional message and physical energy present in live music.
The Wadax ATLANTIS series represents some of the world’s finest digital audio sources, characterised as much by their unique designs as their faithful musicality.
Reference Server
Storage and transfer technologies that redefine the quality of file replay. Streaming music with consistently superior results to disc replay.
Reference DAC
The most accurate and musically satisfying DAC ever designed. Recognised as the best digital replay by top reviewers in the US, UK & Far East.
Reference PSU
A single chassis unit with a sophisticated internal supply, and noise performance that defeats even the most sophisticated measuring instruments.
Meet the designer
We love a brand with character, and it is evident in Wadax long before you hear the music. Alberto Ochoa is the industrial designer behind these living sculptures; objects that embody their purpose of breathing life into music.
The Absolute Sound Editor’s Choice Award 2022
“It makes garden-variety digital files sound like high-res remasterings, with tremendous bass clarity, dynamics, articulation, and rhythmic drive. The Reference Server also reveals space, depth, and dimensionality, even on recordings that sound flat and two-dimensional through other sources. A breakthrough in digital replay.”
Robert Harley • The Absolute Sound
The Absolute Sound Editor’s Choice Award 2022
“… the Reference DAC has tremendous dimensionality, stunningly realistic timbral rendering, exceptional transient performance, and an overall presentation that is, by a significant margin, the state of the art in digital.”
