Wadia S7i CD Player/DAC 
The Wadia S7i is the latest generation of our highly acclaimed series of high performance digital audio playback products. Fifteen years ago, Wadia was the first to develop proprietary digital circuitry that blended a CD player, preamplifier and digital processing in one product. Today the S7i platform not only provides reference quality CD playback, but also serves as a flexible and complete digital hub that manages and plays multiple digital sources.
The CD transport is at the heart of almost every Wadia product. Yet, only recently have we been able to co-design and fully collaborate on every single aspect of the mechanism, servo, buffer, firmware and critical transport components. This custom transport exceeds even our exacting standards and provides information extraction with the lowest measured error correction in Wadia's history.

REL Acoustics R-SeriesSub-Bass Systems  REL Acoustics R-Series represents the perfect intersection of style, performance, and size. R-Series is intended to provide its owner with a high performance platform that outperforms the competition, yet provides a level of fit, finish and thoughtfulness long absent from the category. Details, details! Engineers at REL long ago founded the company's reputation for quality and reliability on designing to the finest detail and the R-Series takes that concept yet another stage further. Consider the previously challenging detail of adjusting performance parameters of a sub bass unit. The exquisitely crafted control box - sited just below the main body of the R cabinet allows for easy adjustment. Simply remove the thick frosted safety glass security panel (a full 8mm thick), make a few simple adjustments and you're done. No phony computers! No fussing about with a microphone and alleged optimization programs that attempt to crudely approximate real world performance for REL. We offer simple, finely calibrated instrumentation-grade controls that make intuitive sense and are easy to operate. Need a higher volume level? We suggest turning up the control cleverly labeled "Hi-Lo Level". Crossed over just a tad too high for your tastes? Turn down the control labeled "Crossover". It really is that simple. Many owners report that it took longer to extract the unit from its excellent packing than to set-up their REL. REL R-Series are not traditional subwoofers, but rather true sub-bass systems. The R-Series is designed to augment the performance of "full range" speaker systems and to provide linear response down to below 20Hz. Properly set-up and positioned, they will take advantage of physics and room acoustics to provide deep pressurization as no other subwoofer can. Retail Price: $1,299.00 - $2,199.00 Available for demo at Paragon. For more information, visit or call Larry at Paragon 734.662.3595 |
